In this Dynamics Communities Minute, Acceleration Economy practitioner analyst Toni Witt reviews some recent announcements made during Microsoft’s Build conference.
Highlights
00:21 — For the last few years, Microsoft has been a huge proponent of artificial intelligence. During Microsoft Build, the company detailed how it is furthering its partnership with OpenAI. It also released the AI-powered Bing and developed Azure OpenAI Service, which “basically lets customers build large language models directly into their products and systems built on Azure.”
00:44 — During the conference, Microsoft released various new Copilots for various use cases across the Dynamics 365 ecosystem. Many of these Copilots enable users to interact with Microsoft products using natural language.
01:28 — Additionally, Microsoft is now using the same plug-in standard that OpenAI uses for ChatGPT plug-ins, meaning that developers can now use one platform to build plug-ins that work across various products.
01:58 — ChatGPT is now pulling live information from Bing. As a result, ChatGPT responses will now be more actionable, relevant, and backed with data.
02:18 — Another announcement given at Microsoft Build is that the company is rolling out a media provenance cryptography system for Microsoft Designer and Bing Image Creator. This will help to prevent deepfakes, as users are notified when and if an image was AI-generated.
02:40 — Details about Microsoft Fabric, the company’s unified data analytics platform, were shared as well.
03:19 — In conclusion, Toni notes that he is excited to see the open-source approach that Microsoft is taking and encourages users to check out recent Microsoft blog posts for more information on these announcements.
