👉 The Kent Project, launched by Microsoft in 2015, is an ambitious initiative aimed at creating a comprehensive, open-source platform for artificial intelligence (AI) research and development. It focuses on democratizing AI by providing accessible tools, frameworks, and resources to developers, researchers, and educators worldwide. The project emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity, fostering a community-driven approach to advancing AI technologies. By open-sourcing key components of its AI stack, including the Cognitive Toolkit and Azure Machine Learning, Kent Project seeks to accelerate innovation, reduce barriers to entry for AI adoption, and ensure that AI benefits a broader spectrum of users globally.
