The next step of artificial intelligence is to dialogue, almost naturally, with people.

One approach is the update that Microsoft has just implemented, for the ChatGpt chatbot, which is based on the Gpt-4 engine of the OpenAI company.

Thanks to the work of the developers, now not only the AI is able to “listen” to user requests made through the microphone, but it can also respond using a synthetic voice. The support is, for now, related to the home web browsing program, Microsoft Edge, in the computer version. Microsoft has confirmed that Bing Chat will also be coming to Safari and Chrome very soon.

“We know that many of you like to use voice input for mobile chat. Now this mode is also available on desktop to talk to Bing. Just click the microphone icon in the chat box. We currently support English, Japanese, French, German and Mandarin, but more languages are on the way,” the company wrote on the project’s official blog.

The news comes a few days after Microsoft‘s desire to replace the current Windows 11 digital assistant, Cortana, with the more responsive and intelligent Bing Chat.

Integrated into the computer operating system, the AI takes the name of Copilot and will allow you to perform various operations with just a few clicks. Among these, the activation of features without entering the system settings and obtaining summaries and summaries of documents, as is already the case for some of the apps in the Office suite.
