Microsoft hosted the tenth annual Microsoft Research Latin American Faculty Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from May 18 to 20, 2016. Every other year, we explore with invited researchers how innovations in computing, fueled by academic and industry research, can rise to meet the regional-scale challenges of today. With every summit, the magnitude of regional-scale and the capabilities of computing advance dramatically, introducing new challenges and new possibilities. This year, the summit focused on Artificial Intelligence.
The need to solve real-world problems—whether they be economic, scientific, or social— has motivated and prompted technological advancement throughout history. These advancements have the power to transform our society, introducing new innovations in healthcare, education, commerce and the environment.
Over the last five years, the world of Artificial Intelligence has grown exponentially—investments have increased and new progress has been uncovered. At the summit, we examined how Artificial Intelligence can complement, match, or even surpass human intelligence. Additionally, we explored how the future of Artificial Intelligence could improve both individual lives and society as a whole.
