David Weston, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President for Enterprise and OS Security, predicts that by the end of the decade, traditional input devices like keyboards and mice will coexist with more interactive technologies. He envisions AI agents taking over roles traditionally held by security analysts, allowing them to manage tasks such as reading and responding to emails. Microsoft is investing in AI technologies, including the development of Copilot, which aims to enhance productivity. Weston anticipates a shift toward voice and visual inputs for device interaction, moving away from typing and clicking. Microsoft has introduced features like the "Hey Copilot" wake word for voice commands. He also highlights the importance of quantum computing for future security, indicating that quantum-safe encryption is being integrated into Windows. While details about Windows 12 are limited, early indications suggest a deeper integration of Copilot and enhanced security features, potentially transforming Windows into a more intuitive collaborator.
