2.) Collaborate more inclusively.
3.) Microsoft’s Core Area is - Developer’s Productivity.
4.) No system is intelligent than the data on which it is reasoned.
5.) No AI Transformation is complete without security.
6.) AI is creating more static fear rather than Kinetic moving fear.
7.) Spending time on data is the best time we can invest.
8.) AI with unstructured data is till a challenge.
