Microsoft is ramping up its AI initiatives with a focus on security and personal AI experiences. At the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, Microsoft is showcasing its AI-first, end-to-end security platform, designed to address the evolving cybersecurity challenges in the age of AI. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is being redefined to secure devices across various platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and IoT devices, offering comprehensive protection powered by advanced threat intelligence. This reflects Microsoft's commitment to providing security professionals with the tools and insights needed to manage risks effectively and protect valuable assets against increasingly sophisticated threats.
Microsoft is also exploring new ways to personalize the AI experience through Copilot. A potential feature called "Live Portraits" is under development, which could give Copilot a customizable, human-like face. This feature aims to make the AI assistant more interactive and engaging for users. The concept involves allowing users to select from various visual styles of male and female avatars, potentially merging this with previously explored "Copilot Characters" to offer a range of assistant personalities. The goal is to create a polished and personalized AI presence that enhances user interaction and makes Copilot feel more integrated into their daily lives.
Microsoft has launched the Bing Video Creator, a free AI tool powered by OpenAI's Sora, allowing users to transform text prompts into short videos. This tool is available on the Bing Mobile App for iOS and Android (excluding China and Russia) and will soon be available on desktop and within Copilot Search. Users can generate five-second-long videos in portrait mode, with options for horizontal formats coming soon. The initiative aims to democratize AI video generation, making creative tools accessible to a broader audience.
