Microsoft will fix your sexist PowerPoint presentations with AI by Mark Wilson via @FastCompany

Microsoft PowerPoint’s new AI tool, Presenter Coach, lets you practice your presentation in front of an AI.

This is a great use of AI and a great help to anyone working on a presentation (and if we are honest we all get nervous before giving one).

Microsoft Creates New AI Lab to Take on Google's DeepMind by Jeremy Kahn via @technology

The new Microsoft Research AI lab will employ more than 100 scientists from sub-fields of AI research, including perception, learning, reasoning, and natural language processing. Its goal is to create more general-purpose learning systems.

They must think there is a market and money to be made.  I think it will be good for Google and the market if there is some competition.
