Microsoft Expands AI with Major Updates to Copilot Platform
Microsoft has made its Copilot AI platform even better for Windows users. Now, you can just click on something on your screen and Copilot will suggest helpful actions based on what you're doing.
For example, if you're looking at a photo, Copilot might suggest editing it or sharing it. You can also use Copilot to make old photos look amazing. It can make them bigger and sharper, and even remove unwanted objects.
And if you're having trouble finding a specific file, Copilot can help you search for it based on what it looks like or what it's about.
Copilot also has a new feature called Copilot Vision. You can ask Copilot questions about what's on your screen, and it will give you answers and suggestions. For example, if you're looking at a website, you could ask Copilot to summarize the article for you.
These updates show that Microsoft is committed to making AI a part of everything we do on our computers. It's clear that they want to stay ahead of the competition, especially as Apple prepares to launch its own AI products.
OpenAI Expands Voice Assistant Technology for Businesses and Developers
OpenAI has made it easier for businesses and developers to use its real-time voice assistant technology. This means that companies can now create their own voice-based tools, like customer service bots, using OpenAI's API.
For example, a company could create a voice-based chatbot that can answer customer questions and provide support. This could be especially helpful for businesses that want to offer 24/7 customer service. Some companies, like Healthify and Speak, are already using OpenAI's voice assistant technology.
Healthify is exploring how it can be used to provide personalized health advice, while Speak is using it to help people learn new languages. This announcement shows that OpenAI is committed to making its technology more accessible to businesses and developers. This is important because it helps OpenAI stay competitive in the growing AI market.
Meta Unveils Orion Smart Glasses
Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, has created a new pair of smart glasses called Orion. These glasses use augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and gesture tracking to create a new kind of computing experience.
The idea is that one day, these glasses could replace smartphones. However, there are still many challenges to overcome before they can become a consumer product. These challenges include high costs and technical problems. Meta is working on making Orion smaller and more affordable.
They have already released a simpler version of the glasses called Ray-Ban Meta. Other companies, like Apple and Snap, are also working on developing smart glasses. This means that there is a lot of competition in this area.
Intel Launches New AI Chips to Regain Market Edge
These chips are called the Xeon 6 CPU and Gaudi 3 AI accelerator. They are designed to be faster and use less energy than older chips. Intel is trying to get back market share from other companies like Nvidia and AMD, especially in the area of artificial intelligence. This is because these other companies have been doing well in this area. Intel has been facing some challenges recently, such as disappointing earnings, job cuts, and a falling stock price. However, the company is still focused on being innovative and growing. Intel is also working with other companies, like Amazon, and changing its business model to be more competitive.
Amazon's New AI Assistant Helps Sellers Boost Their Business
Amazon has created a new AI assistant called Project Amelia. This assistant is designed to help sellers on Amazon's platform improve their businesses. Project Amelia uses artificial intelligence to analyze data about a seller's business, such as sales and customer traffic. It can then provide insights and answer questions about the seller's business.
For example, a seller could ask Project Amelia "How is my business doing?" and Project Amelia would provide a detailed answer. Initially, Project Amelia is only available to a small number of sellers in the United States. However, Amazon plans to make it available to more sellers and in more languages later this year. Project Amelia is still under development, but Amazon hopes that it will eventually be able to help sellers resolve issues and provide personalized guidance. This could make Project Amelia a very powerful tool for sellers on Amazon's platform.
Snap Expands AI Tools for Creators
Snap, the company behind Snapchat, has introduced new AI tools to help creators make better content. One of these new tools is called Easy Lens. With Easy Lens, creators can simply describe what they want their AR lens to do, and the tool will create it for them. For example, a creator could say "Create a lens that makes my face look like a cat." Another new tool is called Body Morph. This tool allows creators to create 3D characters from text or images.
This means that creators can create custom avatars or characters for their content. Snap is also planning to add more AI features to its platform in the future. This shows that Snap is committed to using AI to help creators make better content.
