Microsoft AI is not just passing news as far as the company is concerned, said CEO Satya Nadella during the recent Ignite conference. In fact, artificial intelligence is the way forward to empower institutions and make people's lives better.

One of the biggest issues that companies face now is external attacks from hackers or malicious viruses.

And the Microsoft CEO realized that they need to develop an AI "that is resilient to attacks."

"Just like you build software today that is resilient to a DDOS attack, you need to be able to be resilient to a corpus attack that tries to pollute the corpus so that you pick up the wrong thing in your AI learners," he told Quartz. "We are very much there trying to deal with those challenges."

But he said that the Microsoft AI is not news that is meant for future generations. It's happening now with their Swiftkey or Office 365 as well as Azure cloud computing and Cortana Intelligence Suite. These apps are all equipped with machine learning not only to anticipate users' preference, but also to generate data that would be relevant to the users, even if they don't know about it yet.

Ultimately, the Microsoft AI intends to create a virtual assistant which "can take text input, can take speech input, that knows your deeply. It knows your context, your family, your work. It knows about the world."
