NEW DELHI: Microsoft has quietly launched Windows AI Labs, a new pilot program designed to give select users early access to experimental artificial intelligence features across Windows applications, with Microsoft Paint serving as the first testing ground.
The program surfaced when Windows testers discovered references to Windows AI Labs in pre-release Paint updates last week. Microsoft confirmed the initiative to The Verge, describing it as “a pilot acceleration program for validating novel AI feature ideas in Windows.”
“The program focuses on rapid customer feedback on feature usability, customer interest, and market fit,” said Mike Harsh, partner director of product management at Microsoft, in a statement to The Verge.
