"Microsoft Introduces Revolutionary AI Copilot Key to Windows Keyboards"

Microsoft is introducing a new Copilot key to PC keyboards, marking the first significant change to the Windows keyboard layout since the introduction of the Windows key in 1994. The Copilot key will provide direct access to Microsoft's generative AI assistant within Windows 10 and Windows 11, with the expectation that it will become a required feature on Windows 11 keyboards over time. This move reflects Microsoft's commitment to integrating AI into user experiences, coinciding with the industry's broader shift towards AI-enhanced computing, as chipmakers develop processors with built-in neural processing units. The new key is set to debut on PCs announced at the Consumer Electronics Show and will be included in upcoming Surface devices.
