Keynote Speaker: Steven Bathiche

Technical Fellow, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft

Steven Bathiche leads Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group, an interdisciplinary team of scientists and research engineers within the Windows and Devices organization that is reinventing how computers can help you achieve your intent.  They are ushering in the next epoch of experiences—the Agent Era—by inventing new edge silicon (A.I. accelerators or NPU’s), new models that exploit this hardware foundation, and new agent capabilities and features in the Windows platform whose contextual awareness (of both time and space) enables them to understand and deftly fulfill users’ requests.  Together, these innovations reduce friction, remove barriers, and extend your abilities.  A Microsoft technical fellow, Bathiche holds over 120 patents.
