AI For Good Lab

 

 

As people and organizations increasingly look to digital technology to help address the complex challenges facing the world, technology leaders have never been better positioned to positively influence the lives of millions. Innovating and acting responsibly is more imperative than ever. Microsoft is committed to creating a more equitable, sustainable, resilient and secure future, and seeks to incorporate these pillars into everything it does.

 

Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab is an applied research and data visualization lab that harnesses the power of big data, and Microsoft’s cloud technology. Our team of data scientists works across groups and with strategic partners and experts from academia, global non-profits and all levels of government to address critical global concerns. We combine AI, machine learning, applied analytics and data visualization with highly specialized data sets from our partners, such as geospatial and acoustic data, as well as data only available to Microsoft. Our focus areas include digital literacy and equity, sustainability and climate change, disaster response and resilience, natural resource conservation, health disparities, food insecurity, cybersecurity, and many others.

 

Below is an overview of the Lab’s current and past work, our near-term direction, and how the Lab’s work maps to Microsoft’s larger initiatives and goals. To learn more about these key initiatives and the work being done with the Lab and across Microsoft visit Microsoft Corporate Social Responsibility.
