Microsoft has unveiled its Copilot Fall Release, marking a significant advancement in human-centred artificial intelligence. This update introduces many new features designed to make AI more personal, collaborative, and genuinely useful for everyday work and life.
The Core Philosophy
Rather than pursuing AI that demands more attention or replaces human judgment, Microsoft is building technology that gives time back and empowers better decision-making. Copilot serves as an AI companion that adapts to individual needs, remembers what matters, and learns from user feedback—all while prioritising human connection over screen time.
Mustafa Suleyman, the Microsoft CEO believes that "Technology should work in service of people. Not the other way around. Ever."
