Microsoft unveils ‘copilot’ for Word, Outlook and more as AI race heats up
into the hands of more users, answering a spate of unveilings this week by its rival Google with upgrades to its own widely used office software.
The Redmond, Washington-based company, outpacing peers through investments in ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI, also showcased a new “business chat” experience that can pull data and perform tasks across applications on a user’s written command.“We believe this next generation of AI will unlock a new wave of productivity growth,” Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s chief executive, said in a livestreamed presentation.
At the center are Microsoft and Google-owner Alphabet Inc, which on Tuesday touted AI features for Gmail and a “magic wand” to draft prose in its own word processor. The capabilities that both Microsoft and Google showcased are similar. Such technology learns from past data how to create content anew, powering Microsoft’s new copilot alongside other business and application data. This type of AI is evolving rapidly as well. Just this week, OpenAI began the release of a more powerful version known as GPT-4, which is included in the chatbot in Microsoft’s updated Bing search engine.
