I'm glad you called out regulatory capture. The cynic in me wonders if Microsoft is so far behind in some AI aspects like this that they're taking this approach to slow down Amazon's and Google's forays into selling this tech to businesses and government.
- int_19h 8y agoThe real cynic would say that Microsoft knows that this stuff is coming in legislation anyway (because too many people are too pissed off by now), and those who are on the bandwagon early - and actively helping to push it forward - will be rewarded with positive PR, while also helping to sink competition that's not so fast on the uptake.
- visarga 8y agoI doubt Microsoft is behind in face recognition, which is an AI task that's been studied and done to death in academic literature. Microsoft has actually made some of the most important discoveries in AI (invented ResNets, co-authored Faster R-CNN), they can surely pull up a mere FR system.
