- Microsoft has a new Windows AI Labs program
- The objective is to accelerate the development of AI characteristics for Windows 11
- Initially this is only for the Paint application, but other applications will be included in time
Microsoft has lit a new scheme to test the functions of AI in Windows 11, starting with the Paint application.
The latest Windows reports receive an invitation to the new ‘Windows AI Labs’, which is a program for the functions of beta test entrants (separated to existing previous compilations of Windows 11, which are implemented through four different channels).
The offer to join the scheme was presented to the technological site by opening Microsoft Paint, and although initially it is only for that application, it will be introduced into other applications in the future.
The Verge confirmed the new program, receiving a statement from Mike Harsh, associate director of Microsoft Product Management. Harsh explained: “The Windows AI Laboratory is a pilot acceleration program to validate new ideas of AI features in Windows. The program focuses on the fast comments of customers about the usability of the characteristics, customer interest and market adjustment.”
The opportunity to join is only offered to a small number of testers at this time, apparently, with the scope it will undoubtedly expand at a later date. The last of Windows explains that the registration process does not work yet, and the launch of the offer that occurs now seems to be an error.
Even so, this will clearly come soon, given Microsoft’s confirmation of the move.
ANALYSIS: More for Windows 11
One thing that this tells us is that there will soon be new characteristics of the come to paint, an application that has already seen that some of these arrive (they can also be exclusive to co -filter+ PCs). The idea seems that Microsoft makes these skills try more quickly so that it can make decisions about whether or not to proceed with them more timely.
Of course, it will come with the usual warnings attached to any beta test. The new characteristics of AI can be unnecessary in some way, and possibly find them bad (perhaps even bad, since this effort focuses on getting ‘quickly’ things to obtain comments). The characteristics can also end up being discarded, since everything in the tests makes the cut for the final version of any given application.
Microsoft is obviously anxious to boost the characteristics of AI as part of the unit to sell co -pilot+ PC, currently with emphasis on capturing the attention of those who leave Windows 10 when it reaches the end of life soon enough. Therefore, it is not surprising to see the company seeking to accelerate the development of these capacities.
However, some Windows 11 users are frustrated with Microsoft adding AI cuts when these people just want the existing functionality to be solved (cough: file explorer performance), or in fact the address of the basic options that are still missing (such as removing the taskbar from the bottom of the screen).
