Microsoft has recently announced the integration of a new feature, Copilot, into Windows 11. This feature is set to revolutionize the way we interact with our computers, making our digital experiences more productive and efficient.
What is Copilot?
Copilot is an artificial intelligence (AI) capability integrated into Windows 11. It’s designed to help users find answers, complete tasks, and enhance productivity. With Copilot, users can quickly make sense of long articles on the web, craft and polish content, or even create stunning images. All these capabilities are directly within the Windows 11 experience.
How Does Copilot Work?
Copilot in Windows begins with the Bing Chat experience. To ensure commercial data protections are in place, IT professionals can enable Bing Chat Enterprise in Copilot in Windows. But Copilot in Windows is more than Bing Chat Enterprise. It adds Windows-specific capabilities and skills that allow people to use natural language to ask Copilot to perform specific tasks or help them troubleshoot a problem—for example, changing a setting.
Availability and Control
Availability and Control A preview of Copilot in Windows started rolling out with the next wave of continuous innovation in Windows 11, version 22H2 on September 26, 2023. It will later be included in Windows 11, version 23H2, the annual feature update for Window 11, which will be released in Q4 of this calendar year.
With the feature update, Copilot in Windows will be on by default, but under your control with Microsoft Intune policy or Group Policy.
The Future of AI in Windows
The integration of AI capabilities into the Windows 11 experience can unlock a new era of productivity for people across organizations. As an IT professional, you can help your organization be at the forefront of AI while also protecting corporate data that employees may share with AI models.
The introduction of Copilot is just one step towards making Windows the destination for the best AI experiences. With over 150 new features, the next Windows 11 update is one of Microsoft’s most ambitious yet.
In conclusion, Microsoft’s Copilot in Windows 11 represents a significant leap forward in integrating AI into our everyday computing experiences. It promises to make our interactions with our computers more intuitive and productive. The future of AI in Windows looks bright indeed!
