AI PCs should include an NPU, Copilot, and the Copilot key
Why it matters: Microsoft and multiple chipmakers have spent months heralding the arrival of the "AI PC," which utilizes generative AI and large language models to facilitate various tasks in new ways. However, the definition of an AI PC remains somewhat unclear. At a recent event in Taipei, Intel began defining the specifics that it agreed upon with Microsoft.
Hackers could deploy the worms in plain text emails or hidden in images
In context: Big Tech continues to recklessly shovel billions of dollars into bringing AI assistants to consumers. Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Bard, Amazon's Alexa, and Meta's Chatbot already have generative AI engines. Apple is one of the few that seems to be taking its time upgrading Siri to an LLM and hopes to compete with an LLM that runs locally rather than in the cloud.
In a nutshell: Microsoft has just introduced yet another feature for its Copilot service, an extension designed to provide "intelligent" advice and automations based on a company's own financial data. Privacy and data security have been taken into account, the company vows.
Microsoft really, really wants you to use its generative AI
What just happened? Are you sick of hearing about AI? Microsoft doesn't care, and to make sure you really appreciate just how great the technology is, it's adding a dedicated Copilot key to Windows keyboards. The change will mark the first time the standard Windows keyboard layout has seen a big alteration since the Windows key appeared in 1994.
Copilot is now ready to download on Android, free of charge. The Microsoft app offers the ability to create images from text descriptions using Dall-E 3 and everything else offered by GPT-4.
