Microsoft is elevating the user experience with an enhanced version of its AI assistant, Copilot, aiming to make it an indispensable part of the Windows operating system. This upgrade, revealed ahead of the Build developer conference, introduces Windows Recall, a feature that allows the AI to track and remember user activities on their PC, akin to having a photographic memory. Amidst the competitive race in generative AI technology, Microsoft’s move comes as a direct response to recent advancements by Google and OpenAI, including Google’s AI-enhanced search engine and OpenAI’s new ChatGPT version. Microsoft’s integration of AI into Windows aims to offer a more intuitive and personalized computing experience, with privacy controls for users to manage what is tracked. The AI-enhanced Windows PCs, featuring these new capabilities, will be available from June 18 on premium models from Microsoft and its partners, starting at $999. This strategic update not only showcases Microsoft’s commitment to AI but also positions it strongly against competitors, especially with Apple’s upcoming developers conference hinting at similar AI investments.
