- Another Microsoft executive has detailed its vision of a future Windows
- Pavan Davuluri, vice president of Windows and devices, echoes the thoughts previously presented by Microsoft’s vice president for Os Security, David Weston
- The general vision is for more AI and an operating system that observes what it is doing on the screen, taking advantage of the cloud, which may worry conscious privacy
Another Microsoft executive has provided its vision of the future of Windows, specifically framed around the AI and the cloud, and how this entry, and the voice entry, will be a large part of the operating system in the future.
Windows Central discovered a YouTube interview with Pavan Davuluri, vice president of Windows and devices in Microsoft. See the video clip below, and keep in mind that Technobble is strong with this. Davuluri says in a moment: “Computer [will] It becomes more environmental, more generalized, continues to cover form factors, and certainly becomes more multimodal in the arch of time. “
Well, we boil this, and the rest of the interview, below a little. Computing becomes more “multimodal” refers to the use of entries beyond the traditional mouse and keyboard, and the Executive touches voice commands as an important part of the equation. This echoes what Microsoft’s vice president for Os Security, David Weston, said Windows in 2030 at the beginning of this month.
Davuluri also says: “Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can really see its screen and that is that the conscious context will become an important modality for us in the future.”
Once again, that follows what Weston observed about the next -generation Windows PC that can “see what we see, listen to what we hear, and we can talk to it and ask him to do much more sophisticated things.”
The key idea seems to be Windows watching what you are doing, using AI to determine the context and then apply it to your actions in the operating system, and specifically make voice commands more useful due to that context.
Davuluri points out: “You can talk to your computer while writing, enters or interacts with another person. You should semántically understand your intention to interact with it.”
The executive also talks about Windows becoming “more and more agent” (with the first AI agent recently debuted in the application configuration in Windows 11, of course), and how the cloud will be needed to feed these AI skills. (Although part of the work will be on the device, it indicates, as we see with co -pilot+ PCs already, hence the need for NPU with these laptops).
Davuluri observes: “The calculation will become widespread, since in Windows the experiences will use a combination of capacities that are local [processed on the device] And that are in the cloud. I think it is our responsibility to ensure that they are perfect for our clients. “
Which is an indirect way to say that the level of processing necessary for some of these powers of AI in the next generation windows must take advantage of the cloud to ensure that the performance remains receptive enough to feel ‘without problems’ instead of slow.
Analysis: A computer paradise or a nightmare of the older brother?
Microsoft clearly has a anthem leaf somewhere, since its high -level executives seem to be singing the same melody with respect to how Windows will evolve as we move forward in the next decade.
It is interesting to resume the reflected points between these two interviews that Microsoft has recently presented: more AI (surprise, surprise) that determines the context by observing what you are doing on the screen, and also allows voice commands to be used more effectively according to that context, with the cloud at least partly by partially promoting all this.
Depending on the type of person, this may sound as a new exciting way in terms of facilitating what you need to do within Windows or a privacy nightmare.
It is likely that the most paranoid Windows users will be horrified by the suggestions made about the future of the operating system here. An operating system that is looking at what you do? The way they will read this angle from Microsoft is that Windows is becoming an AI surveillance platform; It can guarantee it.
And it is obvious where such concerns come from when they tell us that the “computer can really look at its screen” and take context from there, and take advantage of the cloud (read: private servers from Microsoft) to reduce data on what you are doing with your PC.
If this makes the use of next -generation Windows very easy, and AI is constantly igniting the applications you need, or the searches you want to do, before reaching them, or proactively suggesting the files you want below, or the Windows options that could change for your benefit in given scenarios: Will people care what is happening in the cloud in the cloud? Frankly, the truth is that they will probably do it if it makes your computer life much easier.
