- mafuyu 10y agoIt always has been. Think back to Bell Labs. I think it's simply a sign that AI has matured to the point where it is widely useful and applicable.
- Qworg 10y agoA big chunk of it is already. MSR is the one of the largest corporate research organizations.
- raziel2701 10y agoWhat is MSR? Google gave me a bunch of weird results...
- swang 10y agoI'm guessing Microsoft Research.
- andyjohnson0 10y agoMicrosoft Research
- andyjohnson0 10y agoI can't find the numbers, but I'm fairly sure that IBM Research is much bigger than MSR.
- Qworg 10y agoInteresting. I'll modify to "one of the largest". I had thought that IBM was gutted. Thanks!
- allenleein 10y agoI don't think is fair to compare OpenAI to other companies.OpenAI will open the research they are doing right now.
