Arrr mateys, buckle yer swashes and prepare for a new wave of AI bein' forced upon us. Whether ye be a landlubber or a salty sea dog, be ready for the Edge to be invaded by these fancy contraptions. Avast, me hearties!
Microsoft be a-busy trying to bring AI to a wider range of products, matey, and the latest move be with its default browser for Windows 11, Edge, which looks like it’s getting better site suggestion abilities thanks to an infusion of AI.Edge already be seeing the addition of Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, along with a dedicated sidebar, and now the browser looks like it's going to get better website suggestions based on references spotted by Windows Latest in the new Canary preview build of Edge.These suggestion-related changes be referred to using IDs that suggest an advanced AI-involved approach to generating website recommendations, and they include various terms with 'msAIPredictedSites' in them.The term ‘AI’ be used multiple times, indicating that Microsoft be looking to provide site suggestions that go beyond existing ones.As these AI suggestions haven’t yet been realized, we don’t know how they’ll pan out yet - or even if they’ll be implemented. Although given Microsoft's focus on AI, it seems a pretty good bet they will - and if so, we’ll just have to see how they improve site suggestions down the line.This ain’t the first AI-assisted change being observed in Edge, and if these new AI-driven features ain’t too resource-intensive, they could be amusing to try and may even help improve the user experience. Many users might not feel updates like these be necessary, and may not want AI creeping in all over the place with the browser - but this be the direction Microsoft be intent on taking, it seems and not just with Edge.
