The key, which will summon Microsoft's AI-powered assistant with one click, is described as "the first significant change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades."

It doesn't look very unique at first, but spend a bit of time with it and you'll notice the attention to detail around its case and keyboard, or the way its thin new bezels highlight its brighter screen. And together with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus chips, it's also far more powerful than before.

Microsoft’s “requirements for an AI PC" include having a dedicated Copilot key and new NPU, CPU, and GPU-powered silicon, according to Intel. Vendors need to have these components in order to advertise their new machines as "AI PCs."

Microsoft sees 2024 as the year of the artificial intelligence personal computer. A new key on Surface PCs and other devices might help.

Was Clippy annoying or helpful?  Here’s a fun and #Artificial Intelligence illustrated short story of Clippy reincarnating as M365 Copilot 👻🤖📎 

imo, Clippy never looked more attractive! I'm curious to see if the Copilot suggestions will be better than the inane and useless suggestions of 2003, how much of our IP will be used by Microsoft to provide the service, and if we can trust the foundational data used.

Microsoft is rolling out a Windows 11 update that will bring more generative AI capabilities to the operating system. As part of the update, Copilot in Windows 11 gains new skills, such as the ability to tell the AI assistant to adjust PC settings, starting in late March.


• Other new Copilot skills include the ability to activate battery saver mode, launch accessibility tools like Narrator or Magnifier, show Wi-Fi networks, check storage space, turn on the battery saver, and empty the recycling bin.
• The Windows 11 update also adds a Generative Erase feature to the Photos app, allowing users to remove objects from images by selecting and deleting them.
• Users can activate the assistant using an on-screen shortcut or dedicated "Copilot" key on keyboards on some new Windows 11 PCs.
• The key can summon Microsoft's AI-powered assistant with one click. Microsoft exec Yusuf Mehdi said the addition would simplify and amplify the computing experience, "making 2024 the year of the AI PC."
