The update comes after the Redmond company rebranded its “Edge” browser to “Microsoft Edge: AI Browser” on mobile devices.
Microsoft announced it will add an “AI Copilot” key to Windows keyboards. This marks the first new addition to the standard keyboard since the “Windows” key was added in 1994.
The upcoming change was announced on the Windows Experience Blog, where executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi described 2024 as the year of the artificial intelligence (AI) PC.
According to the blog post, the new key will “make it seamless to engage Copilot in your day to day.” Presumably, once launched, pressing the key will summon Microsoft’s Copilot virtual assistant. There’s currently no word on the exact functionality or if the UI experience will be customizable.
