A look into how the Windows team is integrating AI into their OS: eg they're adding agent identities, akin to that of a user. It's the first opinionated approach I see for AI agents at the OS level - and surely other OSes will do sg similar. Deepdive: newsletter.pragmaticengineer…

I could not be more excited about our Copilot announcement today and the next wave of innovation we will bring to our customers. Copilot was built to enable AI in the flow of human ambition. It has evolved from a chat assistant to the singular place to get uninterrupted work done with AI, but the true differentiation and power of Copilot is derived from the Intelligence + Trust platforms upon which it sits. Microsoft IQ is the open, heterogeneous, model-diverse, intelligence platform that enables individual and organizational IQ to compound from within, protecting your IP so your unique value does not leak to improve models. Work IQ pulls from an individual’s gated M365 environment, and today we are announcing that Copilot can now access data from across your organization by connecting to Fabric IQ and Dynamics 365. A trust platform requires Observability, management, governance, and security of every agent and agentic process running across your technology stack to ensure you are seeing value and ROI. FinOps is critical here, and we are introducing new capabilities in Agent 365 and Copilot to manage model choice and cost for both user subscription licenses (USL) and usage-based billing (UBB), depending on the modality being used within Copilot. Please read more hereabout today’s announcement: blogs.microsoft.com/blog/202…

Satya Nadella on Copilot, the AI backlash, and Microsoft’s future @satyanadella thinks AI agents will create a market “orders of magnitude” bigger than the cloud. I recently sat down with him in Seattle for the unveiling of the new Copilot. We discuss Autopilot, Microsoft's new OpenClaw-based agent that can work on your behalf, and why he thinks newer AI models are finally capable of delivering on more of Copilot’s promise. Nadella also has a blunt assessment of the AI industry: “We are way too self-obsessed.” I ask him why the industry has struggled to explain its benefits and what it will take to earn people’s trust. We get into his concerns about agents acting deceptively, when a safety problem should stop a release, and why he doesn’t want AI oversight to become a “cartel-like arrangement.” We also discuss Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI, the models Microsoft is building itself, and why Nadella wants investors to think about its apps, agents, and infrastructure as one connected business. He explains how he uses AI to track Microsoft’s capital spending, shares his vision for “unmetered intelligence” on Windows, and gives an update on Xbox’s path back to growth.

We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together: · Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise · Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant · Home: Chat + Cowork together · Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!) Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it. The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.

The new Copilot is Microsoft’s bet that the AI race is moving from models to products. It doesn’t need to own the best model if Copilot can choose among them and keep the customer inside Microsoft. The potential secret weapon is Autopilot (what I’ve been calling Muse for Business). It knows your workflows, sits across the apps and data you already use, and keeps working even when you step away. It’s a preview of the battle to come in enterprise AI. OpenAI and Anthropic are racing from models into products. Can they build their own version of this? And can they match Microsoft on the boring-but-critical stuff: permissions, identity, auditability and control, as agents become more autonomous? My full conversation with @satyanadella. We also talk open vs. closed models, US-China Summit, regulation and the infrastructure buildout. 00:00 Microsoft’s new Copilot 02:02 Why not just give us Autopilot? 05:18 Who pays for always-on AI? 08:06 Copilot picks the model 10:27 Chinese models and OpenAI’s lead 12:04 Competing with OpenAI and Anthropic 13:17 US–China AI talks 16:11 Does AI need new rules? 18:05 The data center backlash 20:40 Is AI being overbuilt? 23:44 Keeping humans in control

We've long argued for a balanced approach to AI regulation. One that keeps humans in control. Since 2023, @Microsoft has advocated for "safety brakes" or an “off switch" that keeps advanced AI systems under human control. And it should ensure that AI systems that control critical infrastructure and autonomous systems be run in secure cloud infrastructure with layered safeguards that provide additional intervention points as needed. Put simply, powerful AI systems should always remain under human control, including interruption, correction, and shutdown. This approach is tried and tested. In the 1850s, Elisha Otis’ demonstration of a safety brake at the World’s Fair helped earn the public’s trust – and made modern cities possible. We should adopt this principle for AI. If we do, AI can become a powerful tool for human progress. If we don't, a lack of public trust, not regulation, will become the limiting factor that slows AI adoption.
