Microsoft is introducing a new AI-powered search feature to Windows 11, competing with giants like Google and OpenAI. The feature, currently available only on select laptops, uses the hardware’s built-in NPU for secure processing. While it offers local file formats support, Microsoft plans to integrate OneDrive cloud data, potentially requiring users to switch to internet-based access. This move aims to improve Microsoft’s AI stature but excludes older Windows users from accessing the tools due to hardware requirements.
