Microsoft announced that Windows will become more 'agentic' by integrating increased AI capabilities. Pavan Davuluri, the president of Windows and devices at Microsoft, communicated this vision for Windows in a tweet posted ahead of a company event.
Windows' Evolving Role
According to Davuluri, the new direction aims to enhance connectivity between devices, cloud services, and artificial intelligence. The goal is to improve intelligent productivity and provide secure, adaptable work environments. This proposed shift signals Microsoft's commitment to staying at the forefront of technology.
Social Media Backlash
The announcement, however, quickly led to backlash on social media platform X. Users expressed concerns about the move, suggesting a shift toward more autonomous OS functionalities might push users away from Windows toward alternatives like Mac and Linux. Criticism focused on the potential implications of increased AI integration within the operating system.
