+# Copilot to get specific button on keyboards
+
+[Microsoft is introducing the first major change to PC keyboards in 30 years](https://www.axios.com/2024/01/04/microsoft-copilot-ai-button-windows?utm_source=bensbites\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=copilot-to-get-specific-button-on-keyboards) - a dedicated key for its AI assistant, Windows Copilot. Microsoft is confident that AI will be integral to the PC as we go ahead.
+
+## What's going on here?
+
+Microsoft sees AI as the next big shift in how people interact with computers and is baking it into Windows PCs via new hardware like the Copilot key.
+

+
+## What does this mean?
+
+The Copilot key replaces a menu button and will debut on new PCs announced at CES this week. Microsoft executive VP Yusuf Mehdi expects it will become standard on most new Windows machines by the end of 2023.
+
+The new button will launch Copilot, allowing the new standard for AI—the simple language chatbox for everything. If you’ve disabled Copilot, it’ll open Windows search. Acc. to Mehdi, the goal is to reimagine the PC experience for the AI era (via Axios).
+
+## Why should I care?
+
+The addition of the Copilot key signals Microsoft believes AI is now mainstream enough for broad adoption. Apple’s M-series chips are currently thought of as the best playground for on-device AI. Although Microsoft is also talking about adding new chips with AI-specific processing power under the hood, changing the user behaviour with specific buttons could offload the disadvantage of cloud AI (if it is one).

+[Intel is forming a new independent company called Articul8 AI](https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel-spins-out-ai-software-firm-with-backing-digitalbridge-2024-01-03/?utm_source=bensbites\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=daily-digest-ai-characters-for-business)to commercialize its artificial intelligence software, with financial backing from DigitalBridge Group and other investors.

+**What is going on here?**
+
+Intel is spinning out an independent AI software company called Articul8 AI.
+
+![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/1551d2c3-e478-4a9b-b9dc-e2aaf04f7f13/image.png?t=1704371424)
+
+**What does this mean?**
+
+Articul8 grew out of Intel's work with Boston Consulting Group on AI systems that address customers' privacy, security, and cost concerns about using cloud-based AI services. It will focus on getting enterprise AI systems into production that companies can run safely and in a cost-sustainable way within their own data centres.
+
+Articul8 will have an independent board, with Intel remaining a shareholder. Arun Subramaniyan, former vice president and general manager in Intel’s data center and AI group will become chief executive of Articul8. This aligns with Intel spinning out other units like Mobileye and its programmable chip division.
+
+**Why should I care?**
+
+The launch of Articul8 signals growing demand for usable enterprise AI amid data privacy concerns. Intel's backing shows its commitment to making AI technology more accessible through new business models. For companies, Articul8 could enable practical AI adoption while maintaining control of data.

+[OpenAI and Apple are negotiating content licensing deals](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-offers-publishers-as-little-as-1-million-a-year?utm_source=bensbites\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=daily-digest-deal-or-no-deal)with news publishers to train their AI systems. But according to sources the deal sizes are smaller than the industry expects. Some publishers feel they aren't getting fair value.
+
+**What is going on here?**
+
+OpenAI deal size for access to publishers’ content is smaller than expected.
+
+![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/d920bb16-0ac2-41f3-9879-c908af394a84/image.png?t=1704451297)
+
+**What does this mean?**
+
+We’re talking about offers as low as $1-5 million annually to some publishers. It’s like getting the assistant a coffee to peek inside the boss’s laptop. Apple is saying the “dinner’s on me” but wants to copy stuff to its hard drive. Basically more flexibility in how it uses the content. Google feels behind in the race (again) but let’s not forget that Google already has TeamViewer access with its products like Google News.
+
+Although OpenAI has made some big-name deals earlier (Alex Springer and Associated Press), more publishers will want to hold out and see how the NYT’s case against OpenAI turns out.
+
+**Why should I care?**
+
+OpenAI (and other AI companies) will push harder to secure these contracts with publishers to a) get their hands on unique data and b) signal their “friendship” with creators. At the same time, it’s likely that more publisher will sue AI companies over the use of their materials.
+
+I wonder if there’s an opportunity for smaller media houses here to go with the AI companies, instead of against them.

+
+###### **QUICK BITES**
+
+Google is preparing to launch a paid upgrade to its AI chatbot Bard, called Bard Advanced. Google announced Bard Advanced with its Gemini models in December, saying it’ll be launched early this year. Seems like they truly meant early because the production[code hidden within the Bard website](https://twitter.com/evowizz/status/1742939270644748747?utm_source=bensbites\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=daily-digest-deal-or-no-deal)highlights many upcoming features.
+
+**What is going on here?**
+
+Google’s about to release Bard’s paid version with new features.
+
+![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/3caafcc1-3c24-44d2-bac7-1bb957fea398/image.png?t=1704455237)
+
+**What does this mean?**
+
+It’s likely Bard Advanced will be bundled with Google's storage subscription service Google One, though there’s not much detail on which tiers will have Bard Advanced. Bard Advanced will use Google’s best model yet, Gemini Ultra, which[“seemingly” beat GPT-4.](https://bensbites.beehiiv.com/p/googles-gemini-beats-gpt4-cost)
+
+With Bard Advanced there are a bunch of new features that might come:
+
+\*\*1) GPT-like bots.\*\*These are codenamed Mokoto in the leaks and code[screenshots](https://twitter.com/bedros_p/status/1742626910088126566?utm_source=bensbites\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=daily-digest-deal-or-no-deal)have URL structure as “/bots/create”. These might be custom chatbots like OpenAI’s GPTs.
+
+\*\*2) Prompt improvements.\*\*A feature called Power Up would expand your simple prompts into advanced, better prompts.
+
+In addition, there’s an**inspiration gallery**(suggesting prompts and ways to use AI have been a go-to move by Google and Bard) and\*\*background images for shared chats.\*\*Pure aesthetics and I’m here for it.
+
+Other features like Tasks and Sparkle are also in the Twitter chatter but there’s not much info on them yet.
