Microsoft Cloud Computing Research Centre Third Annual Symposium

Machine Learning: Technology, Law & Policy

Queens’ College, Cambridge, 8-9 September 2016

What is Machine Learning (ML) and how does it work in the context of broader workflows that may involve humans, cloud services and the Internet of Things? What is the impact of using ML technologies to process personal data in a European framework and what issues of liability and autonomy arise when decisions are made by machines rather than by humans?

These and other issues of vital importance to cloud-supported machine learning will be explored by researchers from the Microsoft Cloud Computing Research Centre (MCCRC), an independent research centre funded through generous charitable donations from Microsoft.
