Microsoft continues to integrate more AI features into Windows 11

Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

    However, the features described in this article mostly have to do with extracting information from images.

    You said “mostly” and also, I don’t want microsoft looking at any of my images without them asking first. They already have deleted images from my computer if I save them in their designated “my pictures” folder. I don’t trust them.

      I don’t see it mention it doing anything by itself? This is just an overblown aditional context menu action from inbuilt Windows apps, nothing special. Same thing as “Open Folder in VS Code”.
