Microsoft is adding Copilot, a helpful AI that guides you through all your computing tasks. Copilot, which has already been assisting programmers with writing code, is also integrated with Microsoft Office to help you write Word documents, summarize text, and analyze data.

Copilot also is coming to Microsoft Shopping to help you find the best deals by checking for promo codes for extra savings. Shopping Copilot will also guide you in making shopping decisions.

For example, when you’re trying to pick the right soccer shoes based on your skill level, you’ll also be able to use a photo or a saved image as a starting point for shopping. Copilot will find products with a similar appearance.

DALL-E 3 images

If you haven’t seen DALL-E 3 images yet, you might be amazed at how good Bing Image Creator becomes with it. Microsoft announced Bing will use OpenAI’s latest AI image generator, and this advanced technology is rolling out soon.

Microsoft is very open about using AI. Given the massive leaps in image quality, often matching photographs and artwork in detail and nuance, it’s essential to indicate that it’s made by a machine. Every Bing image is marked as “generated by AI” for better transparency.

Microsoft Content Credentials adds a cryptographic digital watermark to all AI-generated images in Bing. This data also includes the time and date of creation, for a complete record of when and how it was made. Content Credentials are also coming to the AI-enhanced and upgraded Microsoft Paint and Designer.

AI has been Microsoft’s focus this year and the AI revolution is not slowing down. Copilot is making its way into every Microsoft app and service.

In addition to the AI announcements, Microsoft revealed two new Surface devices: the Surface Laptop Studio 2 and the Surface Laptop Go 3.

Reuters reports that SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won said the global chip wafer shortage is likely to last until 2030, with artificial intelligence demand continuing to outpace the supply. Chey said the current shortage could remain above 20%, largely because AI systems require huge amounts of high-bandwidth memory and therefore burn through a lot of wafers.

The US government's AI fight just got harder to square. The National Security Agency is reportedly using Anthropic's Mythos Preview even as senior Pentagon officials keep pushing to cut the company off over supply chain concerns. It shows how quickly real security needs can outrun official policy.

Since February, the Defense Department has been trying to block Anthropic and push vendors to do the same. Yet, according to an Axios report, the NSA appears to be moving ahead with one of the company's most powerful models anyway, suggesting cybersecurity demand is carrying more weight than the feud now playing out inside government.
