Microsoft Copilot, one of the great obsessions of the company that created the Windows systems, will also have a presence in university classrooms very soon. In its educational project, Copilot will start operating from April 1st to offer support and solutions to students. In this way, the Artificial Intelligence developed by Microsoft continues to increase its scope and grow in services and functions.
Microsoft Copilot has been practically uncovered for a year now, since the company officially announced this AI whose model is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 iteration, and, during all this time, it has been gaining more and more space within Microsoft’s roadmap until becoming one of its main commercial assets.
Educational version of Copilot
As Microsoft explains in its official blog, this service focused on higher education will allow students to enjoy Copilot in their student-focused 365 plans. Thanks to this, students from university institutions who join this plan will be able to benefit from all the Copilot services in 365.
In addition, with the educational plan, students will not only have Copilot, but also the entire Microsoft 365 package, including applications such as Teams, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, and the rest of the services included in the subscription.
Copilot as the axis of innovation
It is evident that Microsoft is convinced of the value of Copilot, and that Copilot can be an Artificial Intelligence for practically all audiences. The imminent implementation of its educational version is about to arrive, but the efforts made by the company to implement Copilot within its productivity ecosystem are also remarkable, being part of services such as Teams, Outlook, and many other tools in the 365 package.
Similarly, it also relies on its AI in a more generalist way, being natively integrated into the Edge ecosystem, Microsoft’s official browser, which allows for queries to Copilot as if it were a generative AI, either through written requests or even asking it to generate images. The final quality of these contents, however, is a different story because, although its contents are generated at an astonishing pace, they often come with many noticeable defects to the human eye, but not so much for a machine.
