In our accelerating technological age, Microsoft has once again taken the lead in popularising a new technological iteration with the introduction of Microsoft Copilot, now available on the messaging app Telegram. The move is a significant step to bring the most sophisticated artificial intelligence to the broader public, providing Microsoft’s cutting-edge AI technology to your standard digital conversations.
This copy was automatically generated using artificial intelligence based on the text below. It has been only minimally edited for human-sounding text while keeping citations and quotes intact. It was developed under the direction of Microsoft in collaboration with OpenAI’s GPT-4, the same technology that has been incorporated into Microsoft Copilot across Office and Bing products – providing a similar utility to the general public. The extension of Copilot to Telegram users exemplifies Microsoft’s efforts to push AI’s technology into new userplaces, ensuring that they can enjoy the potential of having an assistant ready to help with simple text requests intercepted within their GPT-powered messaging threads.
The release of the Microsoft Copilot bot for Telegram marks another step towards more intelligent, responsive and capable AI interactions on Telegram. Find it at @CopilotOfficialBot (for mobile in the app and for desktop in the bot). It’s part of Microsoft’s roadmap towards a cross-device, multi-platform AI. At the moment, it’s in beta and free to try, to experiment with and begin scratching the surface of what a powerful AI assistant in the palm of your hands could do for you.
The openness of Microsoft about user privacy is driven home when users first open Copilot, which is being tested on Telegram chat. In order to use the service, you need to first connect a phone number that you’ve logged with Telegram. The fact that the current iteration is text-only would seem to limit the scope of the AI bot’s use in messaging. In future, however, Copilot could potentially streamline messaging by responding to any query with a long and helpfully detailed answer, in natural language, on just about any subject, from places to visit to which movie to watch next.
Though Microsoft leads here, with its AI integrations, Apple isn’t far behind. The company is rumoured to be introducing generative AI features in iOS 18, so we can expect the tech industry at large to embrace these AI features even more widely in the coming years. Tech giants are currently considering both partnerships and in-house solutions to create personalised, AI-powered experiences for users across the globe.
Microsoft isn’t done with Copilot, either. The arrival of AI-native PCs that allegedly outperform the top machines of their class is just another fresh advance from the company. The new Surface Pro, too, certainly portrays one possible future for working with AI, where we get a lot more done and have far more fun doing it.
These features are just the tip of the iceberg for Copilot, which assures the user it will be ‘continuously growing to satisfy your evolving needs’.
The ethical, responsible way they develop AI underpinned the construction of Copilot in Telegram, run against Microsoft’s Responsible AI Standard, which operates under the belief that ‘where AI is used, it should be fair, safe, private, and inclusive’. It’s an approach that keeps with the ethos of Gates and Allen – such that the more AI features become integrated into our daily lives, the more secure, trustworthy and respectful of user privacy they must be.
While there are many companies working in the fascinating space of new technology, Microsoft has always seemed leading the way, constantly seeking to advance human existence with new applications of our technology. From its early, scrappy days, to a global corporate powerhouse, Microsoft has never stopped trying to make the way we live, work and relate to the digital realm better than ever before. Now with experiments such as Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft is demonstrating its impressive vision for a world in which our technology enhances the human condition.
