Microsoft AI Tour highlights the transformative power of AI in India

Artificial Intelligence is truly touching the world. The industry is not just about companies fighting for dominance in the brand new world of generative AI. Big tech corporations like Microsoft are also working towards developing tools that can empower start-ups that are working towards public welfare.

From creating tools that can assist scientists in managing and assessing data to AI that can teach students to AI assistants in hospitals to help medical professionals manage patients efficiently, Microsoft’s AI innovation seems to be the backbone of these new-age start-ups and their unique initiatives.

At the Microsoft AI Tour held in Bengaluru, along with the CEO Satya Nadella’s insightful keynote, the company also demonstrated its AI capabilities in action. As part of the event, three companies that used Microsoft’s AI services for some groundbreaking innovations in the social sector displayed new possibilities for India.
