Microsoft has announced plans to expand the features of its AI assistant Copilot, allowing it to support not only individual users but also teams of several employees. At the Build developer conference on Tuesday, the company explained that Copilot, for instance, can monitor the agenda of meetings, take minutes, and automatically enter agreed resolutions into task management software.

The Technology Giant Bets on Integrating Artificial Intelligence-Based Features as Tools for More Productive Work into All Its Products. As part of a multi-billion-dollar pact with ChatGPT creator OpenAI, Microsoft provides the server capacity for training OpenAI's AI models and, in return, can access their technology.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Stressed at the Conference that AI Programs Can be Used in Various Ways. "But the more it can simply be a layer that is integrated into every product, every service, the better," said Altman. However, he did not comment on the current dispute with actress Scarlett Johansson, who wants to legally determine why the voice of ChatGPT in a recent demonstration reminded her so much of her own. OpenAI assured that the voice had been developed using recordings of another actress. Altman only mentioned that he was surprised at how much he liked the voice model.

OpenAI had demonstrated a version of ChatGPT that could conduct a fluent conversation with humans. This demonstration highlights the potential of AI-driven communication technology, which Microsoft now aims to increasingly integrate into its product range.
