Artificial intelligence is getting big with passing time. The tech world is curious about how it will go in the future. Artificial intelligence is a controversial discovery of all time. A lot of debate is happening in the community of world leaders. Some people are against the AI because of its possible destructive impact on future human civilization whereas some are saying AI is the demand of the future to sustain and grow the human civilizations.
But multimillionaire tech giant Microsoft is focusing on the bright side of AI and its applications. Recently, Microsoft India signed an agreement with NITI Aayog to deploy artificial intelligence technologies to tackle down the challenges in agriculture and healthcare industries. The company will also promote the adoption of local language computing, among others.

A brief analysis of this big step of Microsoft in AI
Last year, the CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella said in a media appearance, his company is not pursuing AI to beat humans at the games but to empower people of the world and organizations to solve the most complex problems of society and economy to make the world a better place.
The basic question arises in our mind, how we can use all our computational power to solve the fundamental problem of the world. According to Nadella, AI will help us to provide to a better world to live when this technology will be helping everyone to achieve more in their life-humans and machines working together to make the world a beautiful and better place to live. We are going to harness AI to fundamentally change how we interact with the ambient computing, the agents, in our lives.
In the year 2017, Microsoft announced that they are going to investing $50 million over the next five years to place the artificial intelligence technology in the hands of individuals and organizations around the world who are serious about the climate change consequences. We can say by making a strong proclamation that is both financial and strategic, this company may induce additional commitments from other big and powerful companies in the IT industry.
In the bottom line, we can solve the problems of climate change and other future problems through AI or any technology may be the best overall business strategy for Microsoft-and for everyone else.
