The following is adapted from <\/em>my remarks at Microsoft Build<\/em><\/a> this morning. <\/em><\/p>\n

Developer conferences are special places, especially when platform shifts are in the air. So, it\u2019s exciting to be able to come back to Microsoft Build 2023<\/a> with a sense of anticipation that something big is unfolding around us.  <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always loved Steve Jobs\u2019 description of computers as \u201cbicycles for the mind.\u201d It\u2019s a beautiful metaphor, and I think it captures the essence of what computing is. And then, last November, we got an upgrade. With the launch of ChatGPT, computing went from a \u201cbicycle for the mind\u201d to a \u201csteam engine for the mind.\u201d  <\/p>\n

And now, as developers, we look forward to what we can do in this new era. Every layer of the technology stack will be changed forever. <\/p>\n

At Build this year, we have more than 50 announcements<\/a>, and I want to highlight five of them. <\/p>\n

Bringing Bing to ChatGPT <\/strong><\/h3>\n

ChatGPT is the fastest-growing consumer app we\u2019ve ever seen. And we are now bringing Bing to ChatGPT<\/a> as the default search experience, so we can provide answers that are timelier, more up-to-date, and grounded by search and web data. We\u2019re excited to launch this integration in ChatGPT Plus starting today and to make it available to the free tier soon. And this is just the start of what we plan to do with our partners at OpenAI<\/a> to bring the best of Bing to the ChatGPT experience. <\/p>\n

Windows Copilot <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Second, we are bringing Copilot to the biggest canvas of all: Windows<\/a>. This is going to make every Windows user a power user, helping them take action, customize their settings, and seamlessly connect across their favorite apps: <\/p>\n

Copilot stack and copilot extensibility <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Next, we\u2019ve built our copilots with a common architectural stack, and we are now making it available<\/a> so that everyone can build their own AI apps and copilots\u2014from the AI infrastructure, to foundation models, to the AI orchestration, all the way up to your copilot and its extensibility.  <\/p>\n

\"No<\/figure>\n

Whether it\u2019s ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Microsoft Copilots, or your copilots, they will all share the same extensibility model. This is one of the most powerful things for any developer: to be able to write a plugin once and have it reach billions of users across all of these surface areas.  <\/p>\n

And we\u2019re already seeing fantastic momentum:  <\/p>\n

\"No<\/figure>\n

Yusuf Mehdi<\/a>, CVP and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, showed all of this in action: <\/p>\n

Azure AI Studio <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our new Azure AI Studio<\/a> is the full-lifecycle developer toolchain for the new era of AI. You can train your own models, ground AI models\u2014such as OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and GPT-4\u2014on your own data, create prompt workflows, and more. It also includes built-in support for AI safety.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been at work on AI safety for years. We have AI principles<\/a>, which we have translated into a core set of processes that we implement across our engineering stack, as well as compliance and oversight. But the real priority is to build it throughout the entire toolchain, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing with Azure AI Studio: <\/p>\n

Microsoft Fabric<\/strong> <\/h3>\n

Every AI app starts with data. That\u2019s why we\u2019re thrilled to announce Microsoft Fabric<\/a>. It\u2019s the biggest launch of a data product from Microsoft since the launch of SQL Server.<\/p>\n

It unifies compute and storage, the product experience, governance, and the business model, across all the different types of analytics workloads. And this unification, at the end of the day, is what I think will fuel the next generation of AI applications: <\/p>\n

*** <\/p>\n

As developers, one of the things that we should ask ourselves is: Why do we build technology?<\/p>\n

The positive relationship between technology and economic growth has been evident for a long time. But it\u2019s not just economic growth. We want lifespans to go up. We want education, prosperity, and standard of living to go up\u2014everywhere. That\u2019s why we build. That\u2019s why we innovate. That\u2019s why technology exists. It\u2019s not technology for technology\u2019s sake. It is for that broad impact.<\/p>\n

For me, this all came together when I was visiting India earlier this year. I had a chance to see an example of an AI assistant, built on this next-generation AI, that will help Indian villagers gain easier access to government services<\/a>. It had a profound impact on me. And so, I want to leave you with this video that epitomizes what you, as developers, can do in the days, weeks, months, and years to come: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
