We\u2019re living through a technological paradigm shift. In a few short years, our computers have learned to speak our languages, see what we see and hear what we hear.<\/p>\n
Yet technology for its own sake counts for nothing. What matters is how it feels <\/em>to people and what impact it has on societies. It\u2019s about how it changes lives, opens doors, expands minds and relieves pressure. It is perhaps the greatest amplifier of human well-being in history, one of the most effective ways to create tangible and lasting benefits for billions of people.<\/p>\n And yet technology is, and must always remain, in service to humanity: an enabler and a path to deepening our common bonds and shared understanding, our energy and imagination, our creativity and our capacity for everything from invention to forming relationships.<\/p>\n In the field of AI, we often get caught up in the technical details. We spend our time talking about parameters and compute. The focus is on training runs, datacenters and the latest techniques. This is natural and inevitable when operating on the frontiers of something new, where the details do really matter. But I think it\u2019s important that in doing all of this, getting stuck right in the technical weeds, we don\u2019t lose sight of not only what we are building, but why<\/em> we are building it.<\/p>\n At Microsoft AI, we are creating an AI companion for everyone.<\/p>\n I truly believe we can create a calmer, more helpful and supportive era of technology, quite unlike anything we\u2019ve seen before. Great technology experiences are about how you feel, <\/em>not what\u2019s under the hood. It should be about what you <\/em>experience, not what we<\/em> are building.<\/p>\n Copilot will be there for you, in your corner, by your side and always strongly aligned with your interests. It understands the context of your life, while safeguarding your privacy, data and security, remembering the details that are most helpful in any situation. It gives you access to a universe of knowledge, simplifying and decluttering the daily barrage of information, and offering support and encouragement when you want it.<\/p>\n Over time it\u2019ll adapt to your mannerisms and develop capabilities built around your preferences and needs. We are not creating a static tool so much as establishing a dynamic, emergent and evolving interaction. It will provide you with unwavering support to help you show up the way you really want in your everyday life, a new means of facilitating human connections and accomplishments alike.<\/p>\n With your permission, Copilot will ultimately be able to act on your behalf, smoothing life\u2019s complexities and giving you more time to focus on what matters to you. It\u2019ll be an advocate for you in many of life\u2019s most important moments. It\u2019ll accompany you to that doctor\u2019s appointment, take notes and follow up at the right time. It\u2019ll share the load of planning and preparing for your child\u2019s birthday party. And it\u2019ll be there at the end of the day to help you think through a tricky life decision.<\/p>\n Some people worry that AI will diminish what makes us unique as humans. My life\u2019s work has been to ensure it does precisely the opposite. We choose what we create. This is something we must do together. Our task is to ensure AI always enriches people\u2019s lives and strengthens our bonds with others, while supporting our uniqueness and endlessly complex humanity.<\/p>\n This is a new era of technology that doesn\u2019t just \u201csolve problems,\u201d it\u2019s there to support you, teach you and help you. In this sense, Copilot really is different from that last wave of the web and mobile. This is the beginning of a fundamental shift in what\u2019s possible for all of us. It\u2019s a long journey that will take years. With our latest updates to Copilot, you are seeing only the first careful steps in this direction.<\/p>\n Patience and care with our deployments are at the very foundation of our approach. My commitment is to be accountable at every stage, work with you and listen to you. Respect and deep compassion for our users and for society is the core purpose behind everything we do. It comes first. This is a journey we promise to take together. I couldn\u2019t be more excited to embark on it with you.<\/p>\n
