Microsoft has announced a major update to its Windows operating system, introducing artificial intelligence (AI) and Bing search capabilities. The new features are designed to make the user experience more intuitive and efficient.
The update is part of Microsoft’s ongoing effort to improve its products with AI technology. It includes a range of new features that will help users get the most out of their devices. For example, Cortana, Microsoft’s virtual assistant, can now be used for voice commands such as setting reminders or searching for information on the web. Additionally, Bing search results have been integrated into Windows so that users can quickly find what they’re looking for without having to open up a separate browser window.
In addition to these improvements in usability, Microsoft has also added several security enhancements with this update. These include improved protection against malware and ransomware attacks as well as better detection of malicious websites and phishing attempts. Furthermore, there are now additional layers of encryption which provide an extra layer of protection when accessing sensitive data online or transferring files between devices over Wi-Fi networks.
Microsoft is also making it easier for developers to create applications specifically tailored for Windows 10 by providing them with access to powerful AI tools through Azure Machine Learning Studio and Cognitive Services APIs from within Visual Studio Code IDE (Integrated Development Environment). This allows developers to easily integrate machine learning algorithms into their apps so that they can take advantage of advanced analytics capabilities like facial recognition or natural language processing (NLP).
Overall, this latest update from Microsoft demonstrates how serious the company is about leveraging AI technology in order to make its products more useful and secure than ever before. With these new features available at no extra cost, it’s clear that Microsoft wants customers using their software solutions not only because they’re reliable but also because they offer great value too!
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Microsoft embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology either; earlier this year they acquired Maluuba Inc., an AI research lab based in Montreal Canada specializing in deep learning technologies such as natural language understanding (NLU), reinforcement learning systems etc.. This acquisition was made possible thanks largely due to investments made by venture capital firms including Greylock Partners who provided $50 million dollars towards funding Maluuba’s research efforts back in 2016 – showing just how committed both companies were towards advancing AI development together!
Moreover last month saw another major announcement from Redmond giant when CEO Satya Nadella unveiled plans at Mobile World Congress 2018 detailing his vision “to empower every person & organization on planet earth” via intelligent cloud services powered by machine learning algorithms running across multiple platforms including mobile phones tablets laptops desktops etc.. As part of this initiative he revealed two brand-new offerings: Project Brainwave & Azure IoT Edge – both aimed at helping businesses build smarter applications faster while taking advantage cutting edge hardware acceleration techniques like field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
It seems then that despite being around since 1975 – almost four decades later – Microsoft still continues pushing boundaries when it comes developing innovative ways use modern computing power enhance user experiences across all types devices whether desktop laptop tablet smartphone etc… And judging recent announcements coming out Redmond HQ one thing certain: future looks bright indeed!
