AI & File Explorer: Windows 11's New Dynamic Duo!

Microsoft is infusing AI into Windows 11's core features. With a $13 billion investment in OpenAI, they're rolling out "AI actions" in File Explorer. Now, tasks like image searches or editing occur in the background from right-click menus without opening apps. This enhances user experience by embedding efficiency into daily operations, though it adds to interface complexities. Microsoft is testing these features with beta users before full rollout, aiming to make AI central to user interactions. Critics, however, warn of "AI creep" and added interface clutter.
