US-based technology giant Microsoft held its event called “Microsoft Ignite” last night. In this event, which was mostly aimed at professionals, statements about artificial intelligence attracted the most attention. The statements made by the company reveal how the industry will evolve.
Now, we will take a closer look at the prominent statements at the Microsoft Ignite event. Let us say that the most striking statement at the event, in which NVIDIA was also involved, was made by NVIDIA itself.
Highlights from the Microsoft Ignite event:
Bing Chat is gone, replaced by “Copilot”
Microsoft’s ChatGPT-powered bot “Bing Chat” will be referred to as “Copilot” from now on. Actually, this is not surprising, because all the artificial intelligence support offered by Microsoft in its services, especially in Windows 11, was called “Copilot”.
Microsoft rolls up its sleeves for its own artificial intelligence chip
One of the most striking statements at the Microsoft Ignite event was Microsoft’s announcement of its own chip. Focusing on artificial intelligence, the chip called Maia AI will be used to train large language models. Microsoft seems to have done something like this to get rid of NVIDIA dependency.
Everyone will be able to create their own artificial intelligence-supported bot
Open AI made an important statement about ChatGPT in recent weeks. In this statement, it was stated that from now on, everyone can develop their own chat bot. Microsoft seems very impressed by this situation. Because Microsoft Copilot Studio will now allow users to produce their own artificial intelligence-supported chat bots.
Microsoft Copilot AI will offer more customization options
Copilot, which we can describe as Microsoft’s ChatGPT, will now offer much more customization options. Artificial intelligence, which is integrated into almost all of Microsoft’s systems, can be used more effectively, especially for Teams meetings. In addition to Teams, users will be able to manipulate Copilot in services such as PowerPoint and Outlook.
Microsoft Mesh integrated into Teams
Microsoft’s own virtual and augmented reality world, Mesh, now seems to be used more effectively. Because Microsoft will integrate its virtual world into Teams. Thanks to this feature, users will be able to come together and hold meetings in a virtual environment. While doing this, Microsoft will not offer a VR headset requirement.
“Microsoft Planner” is coming
Microsoft already offers services such as “Microsoft To Do” and “Calendar” for things like planning and reminders. Next year, there will be a transition to a new system to offer users a much better experience. The new application called Microsoft Planner will offer functionality for planning processes.
With Windows AI Studio, ordinary computers will also be able to develop artificial intelligence
In cooperation with Microsoft and NVIDIA, a new platform called “Windows AI Studio” was announced. This platform will allow users to run artificial intelligence models on Windows PCs and customize them.
Microsoft Teams will be able to change the background
Teams, Microsoft’s communication tool preferred by many workplaces, will gain the feature of changing the background in the coming period. This feature will eliminate the need for users to find a suitable place to prepare for the meeting.
Microsoft Loop released
Microsoft launched its new service “Loop”, which allows users to develop joint projects. Individuals working on a common project in different places and at different times will be able to easily manage this process with Microsoft Loop.
It will be easier to ensure system security with Security Copilot
Microsoft’s Copilot will also offer a unique experience for software developers who ensure the security of systems. The company announced Security Copilot, which combines Sentinel and Defender XDR platforms. This new platform will allow system security guards to manage everything related to their work on a single screen.
“We are at the turning point”
One of the names who made a statement at the Ignite event was, as you might guess, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Nadella said that we have entered a turning point for the artificial intelligence industry. Stating that artificial intelligence has come to the fore with interesting technologies so far, Nadella said that from now on, production, production, distribution and security details will begin to be discussed.
NVIDIA: Generative AI will be bigger than the internet!
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was also among those present at the event. Saying that productive artificial intelligence is the most important thing in computing technology, Jensen Huang stated that this technology will be bigger than computers, smartphones and even the internet.
