Tech giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is reportedly working on a new Windows update with artificial intelligence (AI) features, which is expected to be released as early as 2024.

Based on available sources, Microsoft’s intention to launch an AI-powered Windows update stems from its multi-year collaboration with Meta (NASDAQ: META) and sizable investments in OpenAI.

The incoming update, code-named “Hudson Valley,” was based on Germanium, an AI-powered Windows shell promising improved workflow optimization.

Windows Central, a reviews site for Microsoft, Windows, Xbox, AI, and PC gaming, suggests that the upcoming Windows update will enable users to search for files using natural language and understand colloquial terms.

Heavily focused on software upgrades, there is wide speculation that the Hudson Valley could be rolled out as Windows 12, given its range of features. In line with the available reports, the incoming update will feature the Microsoft Copilot, allowing users to use the AI offering for various functionalities, such as performing complex taxes using natural language with functionalities extending from simple searches to an AI-powered command line.

Windows Central also shared that Microsoft could lace the update with a version of Live Caption, a feature that translates languages from audio or video calls in real time. Microsoft has unconfirmed plans to include an AI-powered wallpaper in the Hudson Valley update with an in-built gyroscope for handheld devices.

“We believe that Microsoft is the place where powerful, useful AI experiences come together – simply, securely and responsibly – into the products you use most,” said Microsoft in a previous post outlining its AI ambitions.

Outside of AI, Hudson Valley is expected to have a “creator” area in the Start menu designed to operate as a launch pad for Microsoft 365. Other features include a new desktop interface and a novel energy saver expected to improve battery life by up to 50% on specific hardware.

Microsoft enters AI

Microsoft has made several plays in AI and other emerging technologies, striking technical partnerships and making hefty investments across the ecosystem.

October this year, the company announced significant bets in the United Kingdom and Australia to improve its AI data center infrastructure in the regions.

“This infrastructure investment will help to meet the exploding demand for efficient, scalable and sustainable AI specific compute power and the needs of the private and public sector waiting to take advantage of the latest cloud and AI breakthroughs,” Microsoft stated.

In order for artificial intelligence (AI) to work right within the law and thrive in the face of growing challenges, it needs to integrate an enterprise blockchain system that ensures data input quality and ownership—allowing it to keep data safe while also guaranteeing the immutability of data. Check out CoinGeek’s coverage on this emerging tech to learn more why Enterprise blockchain will be the backbone of AI.
