Microsoft researchers found that translators have much overlap with AI chatbots, while dredge operators have among the least.

Researchers at Microsoft have tried to figure out which jobs are most and least likely to be replaced by generative AI — and the results aren't promising, particularly for those enjoying the perks of a cushy desk job.

Copilot Appearance is a new feature that brings real-time facial expressions and non-verbal cues to the AI chatbot.

Now, Microsoft is testing another virtual assistant. While it's not quite Clippy 2.0, the new Copilot Appearance experiment from Copilot Labs is definitely giving major Clippy vibes.

Copilot Mode brings the Copilot chatbot experience directly to the Edge browser’s tab page. The Copilot Mode can perform tasks such as booking a restaurant by searching across all open tabs. Users can also ask Copilot to compare hotels and assist with purchases using information from their active tabs.

Microsoft has a new Copilot Appearance virtual character that responds with real-time expressions.

We are entering the third phase of generative AI. First came the chatbots, followed by the assistants. Now we are beginning to see agents: systems that aspire to greater autonomy and can work in "teams" or use tools to accomplish complex tasks.
