Microsoft adds new AI key to Windows keyboard

Microsoft is shaking up the Windows keyboard for the first time in 30 years, by adding a Copilot key, a dedicated button granting instant access to the company's powerful AI helper. This is a significant step in Microsoft's embrace of AI, with ambitions to turn PCs into AI powerhouses.
These PCs, equipped with advanced chips, will run AI models and apps directly on the device, offering lightning-fast performance without relying on the cloud. Analysts predict this "AI PC" revolution could revive the slumping PC market, with rapid adoption anticipated starting in 2025.
The Copilot key debuts on select Windows 11 PCs at CES (January 4th-7th) and will arrive on more devices including Surface models, starting February 2024.
From summarizing documents to managing your calendar, this versatile AI is ready to be your trusty sidekick through a single keystroke.
