Dolby added that the city of Berkeley offers more space and is less expensive than Oakland or San Francisco.Ĭampus spokesperson Dan Mogulof said in an email Microsoft was searching for an office space in Berkeley before agreeing to the terms of its lease with the campus.
Microsoft now leases the entire seventh floor of the building, according to Aileen Dolby, Colliers International executive vice president representing the Berkeley Way West building. One of the companies, Bonsai, is the Autonomous Systems team working on AI for machine teaching, and the other, Semantic Machines, works on AI for natural language processing. The location on Shattuck Avenue in the Berkeley Way West building holds a workspace for two AI companies bought by Microsoft last year. Berkeley, a renowned institution for research and education, complements the academic nature and learning mindset of the teams located here.” “This year Microsoft brought several AI (Artificial Intelligence) and research-based teams together at a new site in Berkeley,” Microsoft stated in a blog post. The close proximity to UC Berkeley allows Microsoft’s Bay Area base to be better partners with those it sponsors, such as the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab - co-located in the building - Real-Time Intelligent Secure Explainable Systems and the Simons Institute, according to Microsoft spokesperson Joshua Luebke. Microsoft opened an office in Berkeley this month and is still in the process of moving in.
