Microsoft’s Copilot to become way more human

Microsoft’s AI assistant Copilot is set for a major upgrade, according to AI chief Mustafa Suleyman. In an interview with WIRED, Suleyman revealed that Copilot will soon feature a human-like voice, visual capabilities, and improved reasoning skills. The goal is to provide users with a trustworthy AI companion that offers emotional support.

New features include “Copilot Vision” for recognizing screen content and “Think Deeper” for more complex analyses. Long-term, Microsoft plans to develop Copilot into an AI agent capable of independently performing tasks such as making purchases or bookings. Suleyman emphasizes the importance of privacy and building trust in shaping this intimate AI experience.
