Earlier this year, Microsoft announced several major new features of Microsoft Teams, its collaboration and communication platform. Several of those features relate to integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the platform. They focus on enabling Microsoft Teams to recognise when particular functions or actions are mostly likely required by the user, and implementing those functions automatically, as well as making the platform smarter at responding to user requests.
For example, Microsoft promised that an inline message translator will mean that ‘people who speak different languages will be able to fluidly communicate with one another by translating posts in channels and chat’. Meanwhile, an integration with Microsoft’s Cortana virtual assistant means that users of Microsoft Teams will be able to use voice commands to start calls, join existing ones and add colleagues to calls that are already underway.
