According to Microsoft

We have always defended that technology is one more element to help us in our day to day. A tool that allows people to improve the quality of life and the environment that surrounds them. A premise that, however, is questioned if we contemplate the evolution of recent times.

A technology that little by little occupies a more important place in everyday life and of which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its developmentis the last branch. The last great development that has barely begun to walk but from which great things are expected with a large number of companies participating in its growth.

A panorama that according to which people can be viewed with skepticism and even some fear and no, no, does not mean that SkyNet is going to be a realityin a short time, but yes, and that is something that cannot be denied, that technology and especially Artificial Intelligence are going to end up displacing the human being, at least in the hardest tasks.

One of the companies participating in this continuous development is Microsoft, with a strong component around AI that is evident in purchases like Maluuba's with which to improve the AI ​​that we now know . However, from Redmond and in the words of its CEO, Satya Nadella, they distance themselves from the theory that human beings would be left in the background with the arrival of AI

From Microsoft they are more committed to coexistence so that AI is nothing more than an aid, a cane on which to lean to improve people's day-to-day activities without this implying a substitution of roles.

In short, it is about seeing AI as a complement and help for the worker, not as its substitute, a fact that they want to highlight throughout 2017 , a designated date to try to bring technology closer to workers in order to enhance their capacities.

An idea to take into account, that of giving priority to people, but sooner or later it will collide with economic and monetary criteria, as well as planning. And it is that in the near future, when the development of AI is sufficiently advanced, trying to prioritize the human being according to which tasks will be a dull idea that not even the same companies that defend it today will be able to maintain it.

Therefore, there is nothing left but to be prepared for a future in which we are complements of technology.An evolution of human consciousness that seems necessary to be able to survive this great change that is coming. _Can you imagine being replaced in your work by a machine?_
