Microsoft\u00a0said it is adding a button to its Windows keyboard that would pull up the tech giant’s Copilot service, in the first change for the device in nearly three decades.<\/p>\n

The “Copilot key”, announced on Thursday, marks the latest effort by the company, which is\u00a0investing billions in AI, to incorporate the technology in its products.<\/p>\n

The addition of the key underscores the Redmond, Washington-based company’s ambitions for AI-enabled PCs.<\/p>\n

These machines work on advanced chips capable of running large-language models and apps powered by the technology directly on the device instead of the cloud.<\/p>\n

Analysts say the introduction of AI PCs could help the personal computer market bounce back after its post-pandemic slump, with research firm Canalys expecting the adoption of AI-capable PCs to speed up from 2025 onwards.<\/p>\n

The button will be seen on some new Windows 11 PCs in the run-up to and at the CES technology trade show, set to be held in Las Vegas later this month, Microsoft said.<\/p>\n

The key will be available sometime after February this year, including on upcoming Surface devices.<\/p>\n

Introduced in November, Copilot – which can perform various tasks, such as summarizing text and virtual meetings – works across Microsoft’s web and productivity apps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
