Microsoft dismisses MSN editors and replaces them with artificial intelligence
The future of sci-fi movies has arrived today. Microsoft has just presented the most powerful supercomputer designed to develop artificial intelligence technology, and has already begun to use its capabilities in practice.
The Redmond giant has just dismissed an international team of several dozen editors working on the popular MSN website on a daily basis. Employees were responsible for searching, editing and publishing information materials for publication on the site. Now their functions will be taken over by artificial intelligence technology, which has long been developed by a team of engineers from Microsoft and OpenAI.
The American group has recently initiated a historic project to create a successor to man. It is about building an artificial brain that will be driven by the most advanced technologies of artificial intelligence. Microsoft will ultimately invest over $ 1 billion in this project. The artificial brain is supposed to have similar, and even much greater capabilities than ours, human.
Engineers want to focus on using AI to understand human language, and thus related, fast and accurate translation of texts into various languages, e.g. in messengers, creating information by artificial intelligence, based on content available on the Internet, and detecting fake messages.

Recently, OpenAI presented the fruit of its many years of work. It is an algorithm that can replace journalists in writing short messages. He develops them based on content available on the global network. He quickly finds, analyzes, compares and finally can put together such good-quality news that it's hard to distinguish it from that written by a human editor.
Microsoft uses the power of its latest supercomputer. The machine has been connected to the Azure cloud and boasts as many as 285,000 CPU cores and 10,000 GPU cores. All supercomputer modules are connected by a network with a bandwidth of up to 400 Gb / s. The giant is already beginning to take advantage of the amazing possibilities of artificial intelligence, which it is jointly developing with the famous OpenAI project, so we can expect that in the near future entering the information portals will read messages written by Microsoft's artificial brain.
