The Copilot key on Windows 11.
Microsoft has announced a new “Copilot” key for Windows 11 PC keyboards, marking the first significant change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades. This key, which joins the Windows key as the central element of the PC keyboard, will facilitate access to artificial intelligence (AI) in Windows 11.
Microsoft wants to position itself as a leader in the transformation of AI, saying that this new touch will make it easier for its users to participate in this transformation. However, it should be noted that this novelty is part of a series of announcement effects from Microsoft, which has made AI a central element of its marketing strategy.
An AI-driven strategy
Over the past year, Microsoft has placed Copilot, its daily AI assistant, at the center of its innovations. From reinventing the way people search with Copilot in Bing, to improving productivity with Copilot for Microsoft 365, Microsoft seems committed to integrating AI thunderously everywhere in Windows.
However, it is important to remain critical of these announcements. Microsoft has a long history of hype, and it remains to be seen whether these promises of an improved user experience and deeper AI integration will come to fruition. Especially since in Switzerland individuals are still waiting for Copilot in Word…
Towards an improved user experience?
Microsoft claims that the introduction of the Copilot key will not only simplify people’s computing experience, but also amplify it, making 2024 the year of the AI PC, according to this text. This is a trend, but it is worth emphasizing twice the fact that the AI used by Microsoft is not reliable: it has also been flagged for misinformation, as explained here.
While Microsoft continues to make announcements regarding AI and its integration into Windows for individuals is awaited, it is essential to remain vigilant and not get carried away by these announcement effects. Only time will tell whether the Copilot button and other Microsoft AI innovations will truly deliver the promised improvements. Let’s not forget the frequent hallucinations of the AI…
Impatient? “In the coming days, before and during CES in Las Vegas, you will begin to see the Copilot button on many new Windows 11 PCs from our ecosystem partners, with availability starting later this month through “in the spring, including on the next Surface devices”, specifies Microsoft.
