AI Snack Time
Buzz Words to keep an eye on
The Edge: Formally referred to as the Intelligent Edge. Edge computing allows devices in remote locations to process data at the "edge" of the network, either by the device or a local server.
Because of security concerns I think we’re going to be hearing more and more of this buzzword.
Also, allows some AI processing to happen right on your computer (An Edge tool).
Microsoft unveils new Copilot+PCs featuring advanced AI capabilities
New Advanced AI Processors able to compute 40+ trillion operations per second.
Has Recall (AKA Photographic Memory). The device can log all user activities—from web browsing to voice chats and store this data locally. For example, you can ask Copilot to find a picture with a brown purse or pull up things from a road trip you took in Italy.
It’s not just a keyword search. It’s semantic search (logic based).
Is it creepy that Microsoft is taking screenshots of everything I do? No. This is why it can only be done on The Edge. According to Satya Nadella, “You have to put two things together. This is my computer, this is my Recall, and it’s all being done locally.”
AI Sketching: Put in a text prompt and it will generate your text into a sketch.
Live captions that can translate languages in real time during any type of chat.
You can drop a picture into Copilot and say tell me more about it and it can.
You can have a natural language conversation within an app.
For example, a father was in the MineCraft game, chatting with Copilot and Copilot recognized the game, the scenario he was in, and told him what to do.
WOW!
