Although build 25309 does not support enabling these new features, it is exciting to think about what Microsoft might offer in future releases. Perhaps these features will require dedicated neural processing units, but the “use AI where available” line implies that those with traditional x86 processors from Intel and AMD will also be able to take advantage of these features. .
AI-powered backgrounds are just one example of how Microsoft is integrating machine learning to give customers more powerful experiences on Windows. Microsoft said it is actively exploring how to integrate AI into Windows to improve integration with hardware, which can include smart window settings, fancy effects for desktop wallpaper, study effects for video calls, etc.
It’s exciting to think about what Microsoft has in store for the future of Windows. According to a recent leak, Intel should be aware of the next operating system, Windows 12, and it could be ready for its public debut by the end of 2024. With its commitment to AI, Microsoft seems to be preparing its system for a smarter, more personalized future.
