THE TECH WORLD was abuzz in late March when Microsoft announced a brand new Teams, revamped, rebuilt from the ground up, incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to elevate its offerings. It is the latest in a slate of buzz around AI in the past months. We’ve seen the rise of ChatGPT, and image-based generative pre-trained transformer AI win awards for art.
It is safe to say that our relationship with technology has evolved dramatically with the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, post-COVID, we live in strange, new normals, far out of our comfort zone when it comes to new technology. But changes in technology and how it is used are a deeply entrenched phenomenon in our lives.
To make sense of all of this, we turn to a steady voice of reason in the choppy waters of the tech world: Microsoft Singapore Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Richard Koh.
Koh began his journey in Microsoft in 2006, for the Microsoft office in Redmond, Washington. The Singaporean-born engineer had studied in the States, and worked for Hewlett-Packard before getting his gig in Redmond. At Microsoft, he was placed in a team that was central to how Microsoft was restructuring, and found himself in the founding team for a suite of products that you might have heard of – Microsoft Office.
First things first, what exactly does the CTO in Singapore do? How are you set apart from the other CTOs in other Microsoft markets?
