Microsoft has started testing modifications to the Windows 11 operating system, where the artificial intelligence assistant Copilot is automatically enabled when running Windows on widescreen devices.
The company is experimenting with this change as part of the latest preview version of Windows 11 with build number 23615 in the Dev channel, allowing Windows Insider testers to provide feedback before the product is widely released.
In a blog post, Microsoft states, “We aim to run the artificial intelligence assistant Copilot automatically when Windows is launched on widescreen devices for all Windows Insider program users in the Dev channel.”
The company does not specify exactly about widescreen devices, but the Windows 11 option indicates that Copilot, the artificial intelligent assistant, will be automatically activated when using a wide screen.
Microsoft is enhancing artificial intelligence technology through this action, another way for the company to stir controversy among Windows operating system users, as well as adding a new option that should be disabled in Windows if desired.
Recently, Microsoft’s integration of artificial intelligence has faced criticism from some users who feel that the company exaggerates its use of artificial intelligence and makes it overly intrusive.
This effort parallels Microsoft’s strong push with Edge browser within the Windows 11 operating system, where it is automatically launched instead of the default browser when using Windows Mini Tools or Windows search function.
This change related to the artificial intelligence assistant Copilot comes a few days after Microsoft announced a new Copilot key for Windows-based computers, providing an AI assistant experience when pressed.
Laptop manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo have unveiled laptops with the new Copilot key, and more are expected to be launched in the coming months.
The giant software company seems also ready to add more customization options to Copilot in the Windows operating system soon.
Users have discovered a secret option for chat providers for the artificial intelligence assistant, indicating the possibility of Microsoft opening up Copilot to external add-ons.
