<html> <p>The fourth largest part of Microsoft will be the Artificial Intelligence department following a reorganization carried out by the American company, which brought under one roof several programs running in other sectors.</p> <p><img src="http://mscorpmedia.azureedge.net/mscorpmedia/2014/07/Johnson-Apacible.jpg" width="1024" height="683"/></p> <p>It seems that the Artificial Intelligence section will be the fourth largest segment after the Microsoft Windows, Office and Cloud, and that this segment will employ about 5000 computer scientists and engineers. Microsoft's move shows what a great and unified effort Microsoft sees is needed in this area for the development of Artificial Intelligence, for standardization and for integration into consumer products.</p> <p>The head of Microsoft's Research, Harry Shum will be head of the new department of Artificial Intelligence and beyond his former part, the new group will also include products such as Cortana and Bing with the Ambient Computing groups and Robotics, and the Information Platform Group also. The concentration of all these projects, products and departments under one roof shows how standardized Microsoft wants to make the Artificial Intelligence technology between different programs running.</p> </html>
