When Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft more than 40 years ago, their goal was to bring the benefits of software for computing — then largely locked up in mainframes — to everyone. Bill Gates’s vision of computers all around us expanded even further 25 years ago, when he envisioned a world where these computers could see, hear, understand, and reason as we do as humans.
