What Microsoft and Intel's huge AI push means for the future of PCs

If the era of the AI PC is here, Microsoft and Windows 11 are leading the charge. It's worth stepping back and figuring out where everyone is headed. Just two days after Intel's Pat Gelsinger helped make the case for integrated AI on PCs with new AI-infused Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" processors, Microsoft unveiled new Surface hardware and its upcoming Windows 11 feature update at an event in New York. Windows 11's big fall 2023 update (which still doesn't have a formal name, yet), will be led by Copilot, formerly known as Windows Copilot. Now, everywhere that Microsoft has sprinkled AI inside Windows (from Windows to Edge and other places) will be known just as Copilot. And AI is everywhere within Windows 11 and its apps now.
