Microsoft Adds Dedicated AI Key to Windows 11 Keyboard

In a twist of fate 30 years in the making, the new “Copilot” key is set to make its grand entrance onto Windows 11 keyboards. Named after Microsoft’s AI digital assistant, this key will give users easy access to AI-powered features and seamlessly integrate AI into their daily digital experiences. As part of Microsoft’s overarching strategy to deeply embed AI into its products and services, the Copilot key, positioned near the space bar, will soon replace the right “CTRL” key or a menu key on Windows 11 laptops and desktops from major manufacturers like Dell and HP. The focus is to empower users to participate in the AI transformation more easily, marking a transformative moment in Windows’ journey with AI.
