Microsoft’s Windows president says Windows is becoming an ‘agentic OS,’ and the internet is having none of it
It seems people don't really want to hear about an operating system integrating yet more AI into the user experience.
Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft's president of Windows and devices, posted a tweet promoting a company event and promising that Windows would soon evolve to include even more AI. Davuluri posted that Windows would soon be "agentic," which is an AI buzzword that basically means it can do some tasks autonomously.
"Windows is evolving into an agentic OS, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity and secure work anywhere," he posted on X.
