Province of British Columbia and Alberta , Canada zoning bylaws and building codes

Dear staff at autodesk

I learnt from an article that Microsoft is partnering with City of Kelowna in the province of British Columbia, Canada.

the article claims that Microsoft created an AI technology to help city of Kelowna to check the architectural design drawings submited to city of Kelowna in PDF format.  the AI can check if the drawings are compliant with the Kelowna zoning bylaws and building codes of the province of British Columbia.

I wonder if autodesk can ask Microsoft to share this technology so that architectural designer like me can use this technology from Microsoft to make revit architectural BIM models to comply with Province of British Columbia and Alberta , Canada zoning bylaws and building codes.

please note that currently Microsoft does have software created specifically for autodesk's AEC software collections.

please kindly help me.  If you need further clarification, please kindly let me know.

the technology will help me a lot if it works.

Kind Regards,

Gideon Lee

I'm sure Microsoft is doing this as some sort of alpha or beta testing for whatever this supposed AI is. Which means, if successful, their plan is surely to monetize it. Corporations don't do things like this out of the goodness of their hearts. So hate to break it to you, but I don't think you'll be getting access to this, at least not yet, and definitely not for free.
