As Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, said in January ‘ Microsoft 2024 will mark the year when AI will become the first-class part of every PC,’ it seems it has some new AI announcements up its sleeves. “A new era is coming. Find out what’s next on Monday 5/20,” Microsoft tweeted.
As Microsoft’s Build developer conference starts off on Tuesday, Microsoft gets the opportunity to showcase its latest AI projects. “A dynamic array of news and memorable experiences awaits at this year’s Microsoft Build. I hope that you can join us and be part of the excitement,” Frank X. Shaw explained.
What are the updates?
This year’s Microsoft Build highlights the transformative impact of AI technology on organisations using it to boost efficiency, elevate customer experiences and achieve groundbreaking innovations. “Our unwavering commitment is to bolster our customers, partners and developers by equipping them with the tools they need to flourish in these revolutionary AI times,” Shaw said.
Microsoft’s ownership over Windows seems to give its plan of embedding AI in its PC an upgrade. With the new development PC users will get to hear more about how AI will be embedded in Windows.
Microsoft is expected to make both software and hardware-related AI announcements at Build 2024. Reportedly, you can get a sneak peak of new features for Windows 11 and Windows 12.
What the future awaits?
Reportedly, Microsoft will introduce Qualcomm chips that are likely to power some next-generation Windows computers.
“AI-powered PCs can bring a new paradigm in computing with enhanced speed and the use of NPU technology. Microsoft can inherent advantage of scale and customer base in the race for supremacy in AI-powered PCs, as it can embed AI components in the Windows OS,” Devroop Dhar, co-founder and managing director, Primus Partners, explained.
Critics argued that there are also some potential challenges that we should bear in mind. “One concern is the potential impact on privacy. As AI PCs become more adept at learning about our habits and preferences, it’s important to ensure that this data is collected and used responsibly,” Somdutta Singh, first-generation Serial Entrepreneur, founder and CEO, Assiduus Global Inc, LP Angel Investor and Ex-Member Niti Aayog, concluded.
