Microsoft is now reevaluating its AI strategy for Windows 11, with plans to streamline or even remove certain AI features where they do not make sense. That shift follows a rocky reception to Microsoft’s AI push on the desktop. The backlash began in 2024 with Windows Recall, which raised serious privacy and security concerns and was ultimately delayed by a full year. Since then, Microsoft has faced growing criticism for aggressively inserting Copilot into core apps like File Explorer and Notepad, often in ways users consider unnecessary or poorly executed.

NVIDIA committed to the OpenAI deal a few months ago, with Team Green announcing plans to supply “multi-GW” of compute power as part of a $100 billion agreement, making it by far the largest investment ever made into the AI lab, which is now reportedly eyeing an IPO. The arrangement took the industry by storm at the time, particularly because OpenAI became one of the first customers for NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform and marked the beginning of NVIDIA’s broader investment push into frontier AI companies. However, the “glamour” surrounding the deal now appears to be fading. According to a report, NVIDIA has yet to finalize its arrangement with OpenAI, and more notably, CEO Jensen Huang reportedly believes that Sam Altman and his team lack discipline in their business approach.

Google's latest AI-based experiment, Project Genie, has made a massive impression on users and investors alike. Google calls it a 'general purpose model' capable of swiftly creating photorealistic three-dimensional environments that can then be explored in a game-like fashion. Anyone can test it out simply by writing a prompt. Of course, interaction is extremely limited: you can only move around and jump in these environments. Still, it is very impressive, to the point that it caused the stocks of many video game companies to crash as investors suddenly believed games would soon be made entirely with AI.
