Microsoft announces artificial intelligence releases for the Windows system

Microsoft wants laptop users to feel so comfortable with its AI chatbot that it remembers everything you’re doing on the computer and helps you figure out what you want to do next.

The software giant unveiled the updated version of Copilot, its AI assistant, on Monday (20), as it faces fierce competition from Big Tech rivals in launching generative AI technology.

Announcements ahead of Microsoft’s annual Build developer conference in Seattle centered on incorporating AI capabilities into a product where Microsoft already has the eyes of millions of consumers: the Windows operating system for personal computers.

New features will include Windows Recall, allowing the AI ​​assistant to “virtually access what you saw or did on your PC in a way that feels like having a photographic memory.” Microsoft promises to protect users’ privacy by giving them the option to filter what they don’t want to be tracked.

The new AI-enhanced Windows PCs will begin shipping on June 18 on computers made by Microsoft partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung, as well as Microsoft’s line of Surface devices. But they will be reserved for premium models starting at US$999. Source: Associated Press.
