CTOnews.com, August 23 (Xinhua) Microsoft has made great progress in artificial intelligence in the past year, and almost all new products are related to artificial intelligence. Microsoft is also exploring the introduction of artificial intelligence into some built-in Windows 11 applications, including photos, screenshot tools and drawing, according to WindowsCentral. Some of these functions require dedicated hardware, such as NPU (neural processing unit) or VPU (visual processing unit), while others do not.

For photo apps, Microsoft is developing an artificial intelligence feature that allows apps to identify objects or people in photos, cut these elements and paste them somewhere else, the report said. This is a feature that iOS and Android already have, and it's not surprising that Microsoft introduced it to Windows.

With regard to the screenshot tool, the source said that Microsoft wanted to add OCR (Optical character recognition) technology to enable Windows to recognize the text in the screenshot so that it could be copied to the clipboard. Microsoft is also developing a feature to introduce OCR into the camera app, allowing users to choose the text in the photos they take.

Finally, Microsoft is also trying to introduce generative artificial intelligence into Windows 11 drawing applications. The user can ask the drawing to create a canvas according to the conditions set by the user, similar to the current Bing Image Creator. According to the source, the artificial intelligence integration of drawing will be based on the same Bing technology.

It is unclear whether Microsoft will soon introduce these artificial intelligence features on Windows 11, as the idea is understood to be experimental as the company explores how to integrate more artificial intelligence features into Windows.

Microsoft will hold an event on September 21, and it is reported that it will release new Surface hardware and further discuss artificial intelligence in Windows. In addition, the next major version of the Windows platform is expected to be released in 2024, with more emphasis on artificial intelligence, the report said. Currently, Microsoft's artificial intelligence features for Windows 11 are somewhat superficial, and in the next major release, the company will begin to integrate the artificial intelligence experience more deeply.
