Microsoft and National Geographic Team Up on AI Research Grant

Microsoft and National Geographic are partnering on a new grant program that will put $1 million towards projects using AI to address environmental challenges. From a report: Between five and 15 projects will be selected as recipients of the AI for Earth Innovation Grant program and winning researchers will receive funding, access to Microsoft cloud and AI tools, inclusion in the National Geographic Explorer Community and affiliation with National Geographic Labs. "Microsoft is constantly exploring the boundaries of what technology can do, and what it can do for people and the world," Lucas Joppa, chief environmental scientist at Microsoft, said in a statement. "We believe that humans and computers, working together through AI, can change the way that society monitors, models and manages Earth's natural systems." In a similar vein, Google just announced a partnership with UN Environment that will provide real-time data to organizations and governments about the impact of human activity on ecosystems.

We need an AI to index all the wildlife nudity in National Geographic magazines.

Liiks like Clinton was the traitor

[Okian Warrior]

Direct quote from Putin:

"[Bill Browder partners] sent a huge amount of money, over 400 million, as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton," [Putin] said. "Well, that’s their personal case. It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal."

Looks to me like Clinton was the traitor, not Trump.

$700 million is a lot of money for the campaign.

I wonder what she had to promise in return for it?

Easy to do

His fan club here will support him, Archangel Mike, Frosty Piss Lynwood Rooster, Okian warrior.
Lock him up!

Easy to do when you can cite facts - all your side has is hate.

Hate hate hate... one unemployment statistic counters all that hate.

What did Obama say about unemployment? Oh, yeah, it was "those jobs aren't coming back".

Hate hate hate. Keep giving us hatred, because that's the way you win back the country!

I don't know what you mean. Microsoft net profit was only $24 billion last year. This represents 0.004% of the cash they earned last year. Very generous and will help save the planet.
