Microsoft's India-born chief Satya Nadella on Wednesday attempted to allay concerns over the increasing use of technology in public life and said building trust was crucial to its utilisation as a tool to "empower" people.
Nadella, the chief executive officer of Microsoft, also urged software developers to use technology to bring in "more and more people" within the global technological network.
"Building trust in technology is crucial... Ensure that there is more trust in technology each day. We have to capture the essence of the timeless value," Nadella told the annual Microsoft developer's conference 'Build 2017' in Seattle.
