The feature could also be a significant step towards the development of 'AI PCs', a concept recently introduced by Intel. While AI has been primarily used for tasks like text generation, Copilot could potentially serve as a more effective alternative to virtual assistants like Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant. Microsoft has also released an Android app version of Copilot, and there are reports that an iOS version could be released soon.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft and PC makers are considering the introduction of an AI 'Copilot' key to make Windows' interface more functional.
- Dell demonstrated a concept of how the Copilot AI could make accessing Windows settings easier and more intuitive, including automatic adjustments to security and battery settings.
- The Copilot AI could potentially be the first use case for 'AI PCs', with Intel's new chip featuring an integrated neural processing unit for intensive AI tasks.
- Microsoft has released an Android app version of the Microsoft Copilot and may soon release an iOS version, indicating a possible shift towards AI-first operating systems.
