Microsoft has made significant strides in AI, with their AI PCs and Copilot Vision aligning with ‘ubiquitous and ambient computing’.
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon have both commended Microsoft’s strides as a significant moment in PC development since WiFi and the Windows 95 operating system.
Microsoft has faced challenges during their journey, with the preview version of Microsoft Recall being frozen due to privacy holes.
Gartner report highlights that AI PCs failed to significantly increase demand even though Nadella expects 50 million sales of AI PCs in next 12 months.
Recently, OpendAI, once co-founded by Elon Musk, announced it may remove an agreement clause that disables Microsoft's access to OpenAI's advanced models when they reach AGI.
In return, it would further encourage Microsoft to pour capital into OpenAI, although its date for AGI remains unknown.
Although Microsoft has made significant strides recently in AI, it is too early to draw any conclusions.
Meanwhile, her former co-founder Elon Musk has accused OpenAI of anti-competitive and monopolistic practices.
Despite the lawsuits, Microsoft has maintained it will do what it takes to get OpenAI on top.
Analyst Mikako Kitagawa suggests AI PCs have yet to demonstrate clear benefits or business value.
