AI: Assistive Intelligence

Before we reach any of the much hyped doomsday scenarios with AI: Artificial Intelligence, we will pass through an age where the combination of what computing systems know about us and their ability to reason over what they know will help us achieve new levels of productivity and well-being. In this keynote, Marcus Ash will discuss the early lessons we have learned in designing and developing Cortana, a personal digital assistant for Windows, and future thoughts on the applications to the coming golden age of AI: Assistive Intelligence.
