The head of AI for Microsoft’s cloud says that its new tools will ‘make this stuff really simple’ for even the biggest customers
Microsoft Azure AI chief Eric Boyd said the guiding principle that sets the Redmond-based company apart when it comes to artificial intelligence is "how to make this stuff really simple."
The idea behind Azure AI to create tools that help companies accelerate the work they do, and make it easier to do that work with a limited number of data scientists or specialists. Rather than start from scratch, developers can take what Microsoft has already accomplished, and do the relatively minor amount of work to customize it for their needs.
Boyd was referring to Microsoft's redesigned ML Designer, a tool that lets developers use a simple graphical interface to put together models using existing data sources, with little to no code required. Microsoft also introduced a new update to its Text Analytics service that can detect personally identifiable information from documents, which could help hospitals or other regulated industries build software that automatically blanks out sensitive information. Microsoft has an advantage when it comes to AI, Boyd said, because it knows exactly what enterprises need from working with so many thousands of them over the years.
