Microsoft Announces New AI Virtual Assistant: Should Amazon and Alphabet Be Worried?

Microsoft Announces New AI Virtual Assistant: Should Amazon and Alphabet Be Worried?

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) unveiled a series of new artificial intelligence (AI) projects and features at its Build 2023 conference on Tuesday. Copilot is an AI-powered virtual assistant that will be integrated across Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system -- making it easy for users to get answers to questions, rewrite text, and perform functions across different applications. Microsoft co-founder and former CEO Bill Gates believes that personal-assistant technology will play a key role in deciding who ultimately emerges as AI's biggest winner -- and it could mean trouble for Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
