Microsoft is scaling back the integration of its Copilot AI assistant in Windows 11, starting with applications like Photos and Notepad, in order to focus on "truly practical" features. This move stems from user feedback and growing public concerns about artificial intelligence. A recent survey by the Pew Research Center shows that half of American adults are more worried than excited about the technology. This action is part of an overall Windows system quality improvement plan, which also includes richer taskbar customization options and a faster File Explorer.
