Recently, Pavan Davuluri, the head of Microsoft Windows, stated publicly that due to negative user feedback about Windows 11, Microsoft will re-examine its artificial intelligence (AI) strategy. Since the end of support for Windows 10, Windows 11 was expected to be a major success, but it has now faced significant criticism for system performance and reliability issues, leading to a sharp decline in overall reputation.
Particularly, some newly introduced AI features, such as the Copilot button in the Notepad and Paint applications, as well as the Windows Recall feature, which may affect user privacy, have caused widespread dissatisfaction among users. In response, Microsoft has decided to simplify or remove these unpopular AI features, aiming to improve user experience and make AI features more practical rather than just pursuing technological novelty.
However, it is worth noting that Microsoft has not completely abandoned its AI strategy. Although some features will be adjusted or removed, other AI projects such as semantic search and Windows AI API will continue to move forward. Microsoft aims to meet real user needs through optimizing AI features, enhancing the overall reliability and usability of the system.
This adjustment is not only a positive response to user feedback, but also demonstrates Microsoft's willingness to reflect on itself during product iteration. With the continuous development of technology, user needs are also constantly changing. Microsoft clearly realizes that to maintain its position in the competitive market, it must keep up with the times and listen to user voices.
In future updates, we can expect a more user-focused Windows 11 and more humanized AI features. Microsoft's measures may help restore its image in the eyes of users and regain its former glory.
