Microsoft Asia president hails AI revolution as most pivotal technological shift in a century

Microsoft Asia President Ahmed Mazhari has named the recent developments in artificial technology as one of the pivotal technological shifts over the last 100 years. Mr Mazhari said he is energised by the possibilities of artificial intelligence as he listed off many of its uses in workplaces and at home. “We think of this actually as a general-purpose technology, probably like electricity,” Mr Mazhari told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “There is not a technology I could say in the last 50 years that has the parallels to be as pervasive as AI.”
