Encrypted Spaces is a research project (opens in new tab) exploring an architecture for building collaborative applications where data is encrypted and all operations are cryptographically verifiable. We pursue this work in close collaboration with…
Improving the Performance and Security of GPU Systems using Introspection The goal of Project Sapphire is to improve the performance and security of GPU systems using both software and hardware-based introspection. Introspection refers to using…
Unlocking new forms of creative expression and ushering in the future of interactive media World and Human Action Models, or WHAM for short, are a family of generative AI models that capture both the environment…
Enabling everyone to shape AI Project Volano is carrying out cross-disciplinary research to understand how we can value and utilize community perspectives throughout the whole of the AI pipeline. Our first use case is to…
Empowering everyone to understand digital content provenance through human-centric design “Generative AI is blurring the boundary between authentic and synthetic media. Without accessible, human-centered provenance tools, we risk drifting into a post-epistemic world where fact…
Microsoft Research Asia Honorary Scholars 辰星荣誉计划（Honorary Scholars Talent Program）是微软亚洲研究院（Microsoft Research Asia, MSRA）面向顶尖科研学子推出的高潜人才专项，我们希望在全球范围内寻找和我们一起定义AI新纪元的同行人。 本计划首次开…
Cryptographically securing the authenticity of digital assets As generative AI accelerates the creation of realistic synthetic media (e.g., photos, videos, audio, documents), it is increasingly difficult for people and platforms to distinguish authentic content from…
MSR Synth is a research project exploring how to design AI agents with social intelligence—agents that can communicate, collaborate, and participate in human interaction in ways that are context‑aware, trustworthy, and aligned with human values.…
This project studies the data protection challenges when models and agents interact with sensitive data across multiple users. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in enterprise settings where thLarge language models (LLMs) are increasingly…
Communication-centered computing Communication shapes how societies create, share, and preserve knowledge. Yet today’s digital tools remain organized around static formats that enforce rigid separations between creation and consumption, author and reader, expression and interpretation. These…
