Microsoft struggles with user backlash over AI

A plan to bring Copilot AI to the Xbox platform was retracted after users objected.

Copilot, the Microsoft AI tool that’s built into just about everything the company sells, won’t be coming to Xbox game consoles or PC-based game environments.

Microsoft has already incorporated Copilot into its Windows operating system and Office 365 applications on all platforms. The company is also reaching out to gamers via a partnership with the social platform, Discord.

Tech expert Omar Gallaga says users have complained that Microsoft’s AI is intrusive and unwanted.

Highlights from this segment:

– Microsoft had planned to integrate Copilot into the Xbox platform, but received user pushback. The new head of Xbox at Microsoft recently announced that it would not be happening.

– A partnership between Microsoft and Discord will bring a starter version of Xbox Game Pass to Discord Nitro users.
