WINDOW’S AI UPDATE
This year’s second update is all about Copilot
Get used to the Copilot logo: Microsoft is set to embrace AI with a big update this fall.
IF YOU THINK AI is everywhere already, it’s about to get even more per vasive. By summer, we’ll have the first swathe of AI PCs—systems with hardware AI acceleration. Windows will have a new update aimed at integrating AI into the heart of the OS, rather than a scattered feature set. Called update 24H2 (we have 24H1 to come this spring, first), the buzz was that Microsoft would mark the significance of the change by calling it Windows 12. Other sources, which have delved into Microsoft’s support documentation, can find no mention of ‘12’. Given that Windows 11 has yet to really establish itself as the leading version, and the fact that Windows 10 only has about a year of full support left, it seems that we will have to wait until 2025 for Win12.
