Ed Reed’s film-room dive into Josh Allen’s highlights — presented with Microsoft Copilot technology — is the kind of short-form content that looks simple on the surface but reveals a lot about how AI is changing sports media, fan consumption, and the privacy calculus for Windows users...
Microsoft’s new animated avatar Mico is the most visible symbol of a deliberate — and risky — design shift: give Copilot a friendly, non‑human face that makes voice conversations feel natural, while pairing that personality with stronger controls for memory, group collaboration, and “real talk.”...
Microsoft's AI chief Mustafa Suleyman drew a bright ethical boundary this week: Copilot will not provide simulated erotica or other pornographic experiences — a deliberate policy choice that puts Microsoft at odds with some high-profile AI players and forces the industry to confront the...
Microsoft’s AI assistant just got a face — and a wink to its most infamous predecessor — as the Copilot Fall Release rolls out an animated, non‑human avatar called Mico, while bundling a suite of memory, collaboration, and agentic features that together recast Copilot from a one‑off helper into...
Microsoft’s new Copilot avatar, Mico, arrives as a deliberately friendly, animated face for voice interactions — and while Microsoft frames it as a human‑centered convenience, the change materially raises the stakes for privacy, governance, and the psychological risks of parasocial relationships...
Microsoft’s new Copilot avatar, Mico, arrives as a deliberate attempt to give the company’s virtual assistant a friendly, non‑human face while avoiding the UX mistakes that made Clippy a cautionary tale — but the move also widens the product’s technical and governance footprint in ways that...
Microsoft’s latest Copilot refresh puts a deliberately playful face on Windows 11 AI: an animated avatar called Mico that appears in Copilot’s voice mode, changes color and shape to signal listening or thinking, and is explicitly designed as an optional, friendlier way to make voice-first...
Microsoft’s description of an AI assistant (companion) captures the shift from task-focused helpers to emotionally aware, context‑rich digital partners — and nowhere is that transition clearer than in the evolution of Microsoft Copilot, which layers advanced language models, multimodal...
Microsoft’s Copilot is getting a face — and the move from terse text boxes to animated personalities marks a significant shift in how millions of Windows users may soon experience AI assistance across the desktop, browser and productivity suites. The new visual companions — variously tested as...
Microsoft’s new Copilot avatar, Mico, is Microsoft’s most visible attempt yet to give AI a friendly face — and an explicit rebuke to the memory of Clippy — as the company rolls personality, group collaboration, and “Real Talk” disagreement modes into Copilot while trying to thread a narrow...
The UK’s largest reported healthcare AI pilot has delivered headline figures that read like a productivity manifesto: a Microsoft 365 Copilot pilot across roughly 90 NHS organisations, involving more than 30,000 staff, is being credited with average time savings of 43 minutes per user, per...
Microsoft and Google have built their early AI moats less by producing a single unbeatable “brain” and far more by leveraging the ecosystems, defaults, and billing channels that deliver those brains to people — distribution, not raw model supremacy, is the strategic advantage companies with...
The NHS’s largest AI productivity trial to date reports headline gains that are impossible to ignore: participants in a Microsoft 365 Copilot pilot saved an average of 43 minutes per staff member per working day, and sponsors modelled that a full rollout could reclaim up to 400,000 staff hours...

Microsoft has quietly — and broadly — flipped Copilot's engine to OpenAI’s GPT‑5, and the change is being billed as a practical leap: smarter routing, much larger context, deeper reasoning for high‑stakes tasks, and better code assistance baked directly into Windows, Microsoft 365, GitHub and...
Microsoft’s pitch that anyone can “learn to design like a pro with AI” is no longer marketing hyperbole—it's a practical, productized reality that places generative design tools directly in the browser and in a free Copilot app, and ties those creative flows into Microsoft 365 for deeper...
