Phone giant teams up with Microsoft for AI and cloud

Vodafone has signed a 10-year deal with Microsoft to use the tech monster's artificial intelligence and cloud technology.

The deal involves a $1.5 billion payout from Vodafone to Microsoft over the next decade.

As part of the deal, Microsoft will use Vodafone's phone services and said it plans to invest in its Internet of Things platform, which is set to split off by April 2024.

Microsoft said the AI services that Vodafone will use will be based on fair and ethical privacy and security rules already set by Vodafone's plan for responsible AI.

Vodafone said that it believes in honesty and morals when it comes to AI. According to Vodafone, this means customers should be told when they're talking to an AI robot or chatbot.
