Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) hosted its Surface and AI event Monday. The Redmond, Washington-based company introduced updates for Windows on Arm, Surface AI PCs, and improvements to Microsoft Copilot AI.
As reported by Windows Central, one highlight of the event was the integration of Microsoft Copilot into video games, starting with Minecraft.
This feature allows players to use natural language to seek in-game guidance, such as crafting instructions, without having to rely on external sources.
Microsoft also highlighted it would protect user privacy, stating that data used by these AI-powered devices will remain on-device and won’t be uploaded to the cloud or used for unauthorized purposes.
The event also raised broader questions about the impact of AI integration in gaming and content creation. While AI assistance within games offers convenience, there are concerns about the future of traditional content publishing, as reliance on social media platforms for data input increases.
This shift could affect the funding and quality of database websites and Wikis, potentially leading to inaccuracies in AI-generated content.
