Artificial Intelligence
AI has been the hot topic for all the tech majors, including Facebook, Google and Microsoft, in their earlier developer's conferences. The recently held Facebook F8 conference also focussed upon the same extensively. On the smae lines, Microsoft at Build 2018, is expected to showcase its AI prowess in used case scenarios including varied Microsoft products like Windows, Office 365 and more.
