Its cloud service, Azure, generated $18.6B in 2017 [1]. Azure provides businesses with a vast set of computing services such as storage, databases, and machine learning capabilities delivered over the internet. Microsoft\u2019s suite of AI offerings, known as Microsoft Cognitive Services, is one of the largest in the industry and allows businesses to execute machine and deep-learning algorithms easily, without having to invest in expensive and specialized infrastructure [2]. Leveraging Microsoft Cognitive Services, developers can harness the power of AI in areas such as Vision, Speech, Language, and 性视界.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cloud &amp; AI: Satya Nadella\u2019s strategic vision for Microsoft <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is investing heavily in the company\u2019s Cloud &amp; AI business. In his book \u2018Hit Refresh\u2019 [3], he outlines his vision for the future of the company, which is largely driven by the growth of its Cloud platform. In fact, advances in AI &amp; machine learning have unlocked unprecedented possibilities that are changing the way Microsoft can serve its mission to \u201cempower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more\u201d. In his address to the developer community at the Microsoft BUILD annual developer conference in May 2018, Satya Nadella also brought attention the tech giant\u2019s responsibility in ensuring that \u201cthe technology [built] is trusted and benefits all\u201d [4].<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI for Accessibility: Empowering over 1 Billion people to achieve more<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microsoft Build: AI for Accessibility\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bbrZ2pvubL0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Going a step further, Satya Nadella\u2019s personal goal and an integral part of his strategic vision for the company is to create products and services that are inclusive and accessible by design [5].<\/p>\n<p>One important community that has historically been underserved in the industry are the over 1 Billion people in the world living with a disability. As technology permeates through more and more aspects of our lives e.g. social, workplace, education, and only 1 out of 10 people with disabilities have access to assistive technology [6], this group is one of the most at risk of being further marginalized in the digital world. AI has a big role to play in filling this gap.<\/p>\n<p>This also represents a huge opportunity for Microsoft to set its cloud service apart as the leading innovation platform in this area.\u00a0As part of the company\u2019s commitment to push accessible innovation forward, it recently launched <strong>AI for Accessibility<\/strong>, a $25 million, five-year program aimed at empowering people with disabilities through AI. The program combines innovation grants, technology investments, and will incorporate AI for Accessibility innovations into Microsoft\u2019s cloud services [7]. The first grantee of the program, Zyrobotics, developed \u2018ReadAble Storiez\u2019, a reading fluency program that uses Microsoft Cognitive Services to create personalized content for children with a wide range of learning needs and empowers families who don\u2019t have access to a speech therapist [8].<\/p>\n<p><strong>A two-fold approach to product innovation: partnerships and internal R&amp;D<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prior to the official launch of AI for Accessibility, several companies had already started leveraging Microsoft\u2019s Cognitive Services APIs to support people with disabilities in their day-to-day lives. Microsoft Translator [9] was developed in collaboration with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and helps deaf or hard-of-hearing people follow conversations with real-time captioning.<a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/10\/Open-Knowledge-Assignment-Image-3.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/RIT.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-33009\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/RIT.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/RIT.png 974w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/RIT-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/RIT-768x328.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/RIT-600x256.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Figure 1: Microsoft Translator used in an RIT lecture<\/p>\n<p>Helpicto [10] is an application developed by a French startup that helps children with autism and their families better communicate with one another by turning voice commands into images.<a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Helpicto.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33018\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Helpicto.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Helpicto.png 974w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Helpicto-300x53.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Helpicto-768x136.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/Helpicto-600x106.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Figure 2: Helpicto, an application helping children with autism and their families communicate more effectively<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its external partnerships, Microsoft is also differentiating its core offerings through AI-powered, accessible design.
