Today we take the next step to unify these capabilities into a single experience we call Microsoft Copilot, your everyday AI companion. Copilot will uniquely incorporate the context and intelligence of the web, your work data and what you are doing in the moment on your PC to provide better assistance – with your privacy and security at the forefront. It will be a simple and seamless experience, available in Windows 11, Microsoft 365, and in our web browser with Edge and Bing. It will work as an app or reveal itself when you need it with a right click. We will continue to add capabilities and connections to Copilot across to our most-used applications over time in service of our vision to have one experience that works across your whole life.

Copilot will begin to roll out in its early form as part of our free update to Windows 11, starting Sept. 26 — and across Bing, Edge, and Microsoft 365 Copilot this fall. We’re also announcing some exciting new experiences and devices to help you be more productive, spark your creativity, and to meet the everyday needs of people and businesses.

    In science fiction there’s sometimes a distinction between virtual intelligence (something that simulates intelligence but isn’t really intelligent) and actual artificial intelligence (something really intelligent but created through science and engineering instead of natural biological evolution).

    Large language models would almost certainly be VI by those definitions, not AI.

      Right, but that wasn’t really my point. I mean “artificial intelligence,” as the term has come to be used in this current world in which, for example, film and television producers want to have large language models write scripts, is a substitute for intelligence, in that people who don’t possess actual intelligence want to use it to create strings of words with which to impress other people who don’t possess actual intelligence. It’s pretend intelligence by and for people who don’t possess the real kind.
