Dieses Dokument soll politischen Entscheidungsträgern als Denkschrift bei der vollen Erschließung der Vorteile dienen, die sich aus der Umstellung auf die Cloud ergeben. Wir liefern dazu insgesamt 78 Empfehlungen in 15 Politikfeldern. Sie sollen als
Grundlage für ein Regulierungsumfeld dienen, das eine von Vertrauen, Verantwortung und Teilhabe geprägte Cloud ermöglicht. Darüber hinaus zeigen wir anhand einiger Beispiele, wie die Cloud bereits jetzt dazu beiträgt, dass Regierungen und Behörden die Bürgerinnen und Bürger besser erreichen, dass Unternehmen produktiver arbeiten und dass gemeinnützige Organisationen effektiver tätig sein können.

The history of human progress is marked by a small handful of industrial revolutions like this—each fueled by a couple key inventions.
The First Industrial Revolution, powered by the steam-engine.
The Second Industrial Revolution was built on the internal combustion engine and electric power plants.
The Third Industrial Revolution was made possible by the microprocessor.
Today, we stand at the beginning of a new era of technology-driven transformation and change.
Change so profound that it could be the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
At the heart of this transformation lies cloud computing.

We live in an amazing time.
Technology is changing our lives at breathtaking speed.
Advances in medicine, education, communication, and productivity have increased life expectancy around the globe and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.
The ability to connect to people and information instantly is so commonplace that many people take it for granted.
And now, with cloud computing, we’ve arrived at the beginning of an era of even more profound transformation.
A new generation of technology innovation is delivering new ways to expand economic opportunity and address some of humanity’s most pressing problems.
But the cloud also raises important questions about privacy, safety, jobs, and much more.
At Microsoft, we are fundamentally optimistic about a future in which a cloud for global good delivers social and economic benefits for all.

A pair of photographs of the Flatiron Building in New York City taken in the early 1900s has deep relevance for this moment in history.
They images are nearly identical. Except for one thing.
In the first picture, taken in 1905, horses are the primary mode of transportation.

Two decades later, automobiles fill the streets and line the curb.
In between lies a period of profound transformation.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, it took more than 100,000 horses to keep New York moving.
Thousands of people worked to drive them, feed them, and clean up the mess they left behind.
Then, as hay-fed horsepower gave way to oil-fueled horsepower, the world changed dramatically.
Within a quarter century, entire industries built on horses had all but disappeared.
And a society that moved at the speed of cars rather than the trot of horses struggled to create new laws and build new infrastructure as a wave of innovation launched a new economy
An economy that was more productive, more dynamic, and that created millions of new good-paying jobs.

Cloud computing is built on hundreds of datacenters running tens of millions of processers
Together, these datacenters have the power to store and process unprecedented amounts of data.
The benefits could be enormous—a future in which poverty has been eliminated, diseases eradicated, and a solution for climate change discovered.
Already, we’re beginning to see how the cloud can change people’s lives for the better.

In short - technology is disrupting everything, everywhere
Let me give you some examples

At Microsoft’s research a team of researchers are working to ‘solve cancer’ through the cloud,
One team is using machine learning and natural language processing to help the world’s leading oncologists figure out the most effective, individualized cancer treatment for their patients, by providing an intuitive way to sort through all the research data available.
Another is pairing machine learning with computer vision to give radiologists a more detailed understanding of how their patients’ tumors are progressing.
Yet another group of researchers has created powerful algorithms that help scientists understand how cancers develop and what treatments will work best to fight them.
And another team is working on moonshot efforts that could one day allow scientists to program cells to fight diseases, including cancer.
None of this would be possible without the amazing work of researchers who have come before but the cloud is now playing a pivotal role in helping realize their mission
In Tacoma, Washington, teachers are using advanced analytics to predict which students are likely to drop out and then provide extra support to help them thrive in school.
The graduation rate has jumped 50 percent.

Inside the technology industry, where services for affluent consumers are creating vast wealth, it’s easy to look at cloud computing and see incredible opportunities.
For instance, Uber, the world’s biggest taxi service, owns no vehicles. Airbnb, the world’s most valuable lodging company, owns no hotels
But outside Seattle, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley, it’s possible to wonder if we’re headed toward a darker future.
A future in which automation drives millions of people out of the workforce, income inequality is an unbridgeable chasm, and public safety and personal privacy are permanently undermined.
This undercurrent of anxiety is totally understandable.
Acts of terrorism in Paris, Brussels, and Orlando have been planned and carried out using digital technology.
Criminals have hacked into computer systems and stolen credit card information for millions of consumers.
Teachers and parents worry about kids being bullied on social media.
People with disabilities worry about losing access to information or services because the technology doesn’t anticipate their needs
And, finally, the truth is that some people will lose their jobs to robots and automation
Now, at a time when technology-driven transformation appears to be inevitable, we have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to acknowledge the uncertainty that people face.
And then we must work together to create a future in which the benefits of cloud computing are universally accessible and equitably shared.
If the cloud is powering the Fourth Industrial Revolution, then the cloud needs to to benefit everyone
We must build a cloud for global good.
To achieve this, we need to ensure that:
the cloud is trusted,
the cloud is responsible and
the cloud is inclusive
It’s a task that will take a framework of laws and agreements crafted by governments and shaped by open discussion among all who have a stake in the outcome . . . citizens, business people, advocates, academics, parents—everyone.
To build a cloud for global good, first we must build a trusted cloud.
Because we know from experience, people won’t use technology they don’t trust
So what are the key issues that we need to address to create a trusted cloud
Around the world, people believe that their information should be protected.
The cloud should not diminish the expectation of privacy, it should enhance it.
The foundation for our work at Microsoft is to earn and maintain trust
This is we why we are standing up for privacy and transparency on behalf of our customers around the world—even if it means confronting our own government in court.
But no one can build a trusted cloud alone.
For that, we’ll need policies that protect people from crime and terrorism in cyberspace;
Policies that preserve privacy from unwarranted intrusion by governments and businesses;
Policies that guarantee the free flow of information while respecting national borders.

A cloud for global good must also be a responsible cloud.
We believe this requires a framework of laws and a commitment from companies like Microsoft to protect people from harm and abuse, and to promote and preserve human rights
It will also require sustainable environmental practices.
A decade from now, the world’s datacenters will consume as much electricity as a medium-sized nation.
This is why we made a commitment to be transparent about our energy use, invest in datacenter efficiency, and use more renewable energy every year.
Again, we can’t do it alone. A responsible cloud needs regulatory frameworks that make efficiency and clean energy a matter of government policy.

Third, we must build an inclusive cloud.
In a world in which technology is driving rapid change, one of the most important challenges we face is to ensure that disruption is balanced by opportunity
Striking this balance can only be achieved by creating an inclusive cloud that is available to everyone, everywhere – regardless of age, gender, ability, and income.
This is the defining issues of our time.
The capabilities that the cloud makes possible must be accessible to every business—small and large, old and new—so that every company has the opportunity to thrive, grow, and create new jobs.
And we need to ensure that the next generation has the knowledge and skills they need to fill those jobs.
This is why we work with schools and governments from the U.S. to Malaysia, to the UK and China to bring coding and computer science into schools.
We also need to make sure that those in the workforce today are not left behind
In fact, as we move forward, we must make sure that no one is left behind.
If equal opportunity is the defining issue of our time, equal treatment is the defining cause.
Progress will depend on policies that make access to the cloud affordable and universal, regardless of race, gender, abilities, location, or income.

This is the Flatiron Building today, from the same vantage point as the 1905 and 1925 images.
There are striking similarities and some interesting differences.
Many of the same buildings are still there, but there are more people and a lot more traffic.
What I wonder is what will that intersection will look like in 20 years.
I think it’s safe to predict that the Flatiron Building will still be there.
So will the traffic. But in 2036, most of the vehicles will be driverless.
Like the shift from horses to motor vehicles 100 years ago, it’s a change that will have huge consequences.
Many will be positive. There will be fewer accidents and cleaner air. New industries will be created, new companies formed, new wealth generated.
But thousands of people who make a living today driving taxis, buses, and delivery vehicles will have lost their jobs.
Will they have a chance to prosper too?

If we truly build a cloud for global good.
We will be able to look back at this as the time when we all stood up to create a more just and prosperous world.
Thank you.
