From gadgets360.comMicrosoft's Windows 2030 Vision Leans Towards AI Agents
The video detailing the company's Windows 2030 Vision features David Weston, Corporate Vice President of Enterprise & Security at Microsoft. In the seven-minute-long video, the he discusses how Windows will evolve from a design, function, and security perspective. The company is expected to showcase more about the direction Microsoft is planning to take in the future.
Answering the question on how technology would change the way people work by 2030, Weston highlighted that people would spend less time doing day-to-day work and more time on ideation, creativity, vision, and collaboration. Meanwhile, the routine work will be picked up by AI agents.
“I think we would do less with our eyes and more talking to our computers. I truly believe the future version of Windows and other Microsoft operating systems will interact in a multimodal way. The computer will be able to see what we see, hear what we hear, and we can talk to it and ask it to do much more sophisticated things,” he added.
Breaking it down, Weston is likely referring to a technology similar to Copilot Vision, where the AI-powered chatbot can see what's happening on the screen, and users can just speak what they want done, and it assists them. Of course, today the chatbot can only handle certain simple tasks, and cannot perform anything complex, but by 2030, the Microsoft executive believes that will change.
They're already pushing Copilot hard, on my Windows work laptop I used to be able to get to a document in Office 360 quickly, but now since the upgrade to Windows 11 Copilot is in my face and I have to get around it to find the documents. The first time I ran into that it was very frustrating, it was the end of the week and I just wanted to wrap things up and get out of there.
