Windows 11 has been out in its current form since 2021, but Microsoft has grand visions of transforming its operating system into an even more AI-friendly system. Starting today, Microsoft is adding AI features to Windows 11 PCs that encourage users to utilize Copilot by speaking to their computers and allowing AI to perform some basic functions for them. These updates are being rolled out alongside an ad campaign that invites people to "meet the computer you can talk to."
"We think we're on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day," Microsoft consumer chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi told The Verge. "The vision that we have is: Let's rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC."
The new features sound similar to the Cortana voice options on Windows 10. For example, users will be able to bring their PC out of standby by saying "Hey, Copilot!" as a command. Mehdi also shared his belief that users will embrace voice controls on a greater level than they have in the past.
Windows 11 users will have to give AI permission to take actions on their behalf before it can do so. As part of its rollout strategy, Microsoft is using Copilot Vision to scan everything on-screen and provide users with help or prompts about documents, photos, and programs. However, Copilot Actions--the AI assistant that can perform actions for a local PC--is still in the testing phase, and not ready for a full release at this time. In the meantime, Copilot is being integrated into the Windows taskbar for easier access to the voice commands.
Earlier this week, prominent game developers Hideo Kojima and Glen Schofield argued that AI tools should be embraced. A recent survey suggests that over 50% of Japanese game publishers utilize AI in some way. Outside of the industry, OpenAI's new Sora 2 appears to have liberally borrowed Nintendo's IP without permission. The Japanese government has formally requested that OpenAI stop Sora 2's copyright infringement.
