According to Microsoft’s Consumer Chief Marketing Officer Yusuf Mehdi, “AI PCs” should be able to recognize input “naturally, in text or voice,” to be able to guide users based on what’s on their screens at any given moment, and that AI assistants “should be able to take action on your behalf.”

Microsoft's Windows 11 update introduces voice activation, Copilot Vision for screen analysis and upcoming Copilot Actions, making PCs smarter and easier to use with AI.

"Let's rewrite the entire operating system around AI." The post As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity appeared first on Futurism.

For AI to control a PC and take actions on behalf of the user, it must first be granted access to see what’s on the screen. Microsoft has been testing Copilot Vision in recent months, a feature that can scan everything on your screen and coach you through using apps or answer questions about photos and documents.

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 10 combined a classic user interface with modern features like the revived Start Menu, Cortana, Microsoft Edge, Xbox integration.
