Microsoft Corp. and technology rivals spend a lot of time talking about machine learning. Now Microsoft is talking about something called machine teaching.
As the company tries to sell more of its Azure cloud software to industrial companies, it aims to make these kinds of autonomous programs a profitable part of that portfolio. Many consumers will be most familiar with this kind of software as it exists in self-driving cars, but Microsoft plans to leave that part of the market to the Teslas of the world.Delta Air Lines Inc. is running a project to improve its baggage handling using the technology, Microsoft said.
In May, Microsoft began a limited preview of the software that extended to about 50 customers. On Monday at Microsoft’s Ignite conference in Orlando, CEO Satya Nadella announced an expansion of that program to about 200 companies and probably more after that. The company won’t yet say when it will be broadly available.
Software for factories, equipment and industrial applications is often very specific and made by companies in those industries rather than large, general purpose software makers such as Microsoft. And many of those vendors are also working on systems for increasing autonomous control. Microsoft also wants to sell other products, from cloud services to HoloLens augmented reality goggles to construction and industrial firms.
This will be easier than teaching Trump to think. Someone explain to Trump what forests are.
Nope. Bad idea.
If you are worth the story ... sell illusions. Si os vale el cuento... vender ilusiones.
