Microsoft envisions AI-powered Windows by 2030: “We’ll talk to our computers”

Microsoft is giving a peek into the future of its staple operating system and showing ambitious ideas of Windows in 2030. David Weston, the Corporate Vice President of OS Security at Microsoft, has recently posted a video on the official YouTube channel of the company, in which he expressed his ideas about the ways in which AI will redefine our usage of computers by the end of the decade.

Weston believes that Windows is soon to be a truly multimodal platform which is capable of seeing, hearing and understanding users in a more natural way. Rather than clicking and typing, the users can greatly depend on voice commands and visual interfaces to engage their devices. Weston said that the computer will be able to see what we can see, hear what we can hear and be able to talk to the computer.

Weston feels that there is a better way of using keyboards and mice and that this will soon become outmoded. He likened it to Gen-Z users looking at MS-DOS as clunky and irrelevant. According to the upcoming changes, the use of Windows will be more intuitive and less screen-based and physical.

The new Windows is likely to employ AI in interacting with the user, as well as improving cybersecurity. Weston implied AI bots could go about routine security work and even become virtual security analysts. Soon the users may chat with these bots via email or video conferencing and assign them technical tasks as they would with an actual colleague.

The changes to AI will impact the workplace as well. Microsoft views AI as the means to remove repetitive tasks so that humans would have time to become creative and capable of solving problems. The vision of the company corresponds to the general tendency in the industry to use AI technology on a more profound level in terms of everyday computing.
