Microsoft recently announced the upcoming release of its own artificial intelligence called “Copilot”. The latter, however, poses some confidentiality and installation problems.
Microsoft intends to overshadow the famous ChatGPT. The firm recently announced the imminent release of its own solution based on artificial intelligence. Called “Copilot”, this new functionality is already integrated into “365 Office” solutions as well as the “Microsoft Edge” web browser and will soon be available for all computers running Windows 11.
“Copilot” is, however, already under fire from some criticism since its arrival on your computer will be done automatically via a future update. The latter is scheduled for April 1st, and it’s not an April Fool’s joke!
Called “22H2”, this update is already being tested for users registered for the Windows beta. It notably provides for the integration of “Microsoft Copilot” which will be directly integrated into your taskbar. This functionality, like ChatGPT, is based on artificial intelligence to assist you in all your research and needs. It will be possible to ask him questions or make requests.
But the information that has caused much discussion is much more recent. Microsoft also indicated that “Copilot” will be integrated automatically into Windows and will not have an uninstaller included. You will therefore not be able to remove the functionality from your computer unless you use a registry editor, but the method is relatively complex for a majority of users.
This news also comes a few days after several Internet users reported the fact that “Copilot” sees certain actions and requests from users, in order to assist them more easily. The firm indicates, however, that the information retained complies with all confidentiality rules and functions like cookies in an internet browser. It is also possible to deactivate the “Copilot” history in the assistant options.
