Microsoft has introduced its AI-driven Copilot service to the Google Play store, extending accessibility to Android users. The Copilot app offers a gateway to AI models like OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, a text-to-image generator, and the GPT-4 model, which was previously exclusive to the ChatGPT app’s paid features.
Available for download on the Google Play store, the Copilot app has already garnered over 5,000 downloads, assuring users that no data is shared with third parties. Microsoft emphasizes that all data transmitted through the app is encrypted, prioritizing user privacy.
Screenshots provided by Microsoft showcase the versatile capabilities of Copilot. Users can pose queries, generate images and text, and engage in various activities such as coding, resume building, and composing emails through the app.
In a broader strategic move, Microsoft is set to invest substantial sums in OpenAI, leveraging the startup’s innovations to enhance its own services like the AI-powered chatbot on Bing. The collaboration reflects Microsoft’s commitment to advancing AI technologies across its product ecosystem.
However, concerns have been raised by creators regarding the datasets used to train AI models like DALL-E 2. Allegations suggest that copyrighted works were scraped without proper authorization or compensation to the original creators. The legal standing of AI-generated content remains uncertain, raising questions about the protections afforded to such works under existing laws.
