Project Alexandria: Using AI to build a knowledge base fit for humans

Imagine a technology that can automatically discover every single project, team, event, product and process inside an organization – and keep these up to date as the organisation evolves and changes. This is what we are building with Alexandria, a Microsoft Research project that uses machine learning to automatically extract critical business knowledge into a single, unified knowledge base.

In this video, we describe the key themes of the project, and our close collaboration with the Viva Topics team. With Viva Topics we have built an enterprise knowledge system now available to millions of customers of the Microsoft 365 productivity system.
