"Microsoft Introduces AI Copilot Key to Keyboards, Marking First Update Since 1994"
Microsoft has directed Windows OEMs to include a dedicated Copilot AI key on Windows 11 laptop keyboards, replacing the traditional Menu key. This key will activate the Copilot generative AI assistant, emphasizing Microsoft's commitment to integrating AI into personal computing. The change reflects Microsoft's influence over hardware design and coincides with the launch of CPUs with neural processing units (NPUs) from partners like AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm, which will enhance AI capabilities on devices. The implementation of the Copilot key on desktop keyboards is yet to be detailed.
