Microsoft Plans "Windows Intelligence" Rebrand for AI Features
Suppose you were following the announcement of the newest Windows 11 features like Recall and Copilot. In that case, you questioned Microsoft's approach to these new features regarding security, real-world usage, and, least likely, naming scheme. If the latter is the case, you are in for a treat. According to the latest round of reports, Microsoft is reportedly preparing to converge its AI features under a new brand name—Windows Intelligence. This move comes as the tech giant expands its AI integration across the Windows platform to give customers more reassurance in its AI features. However, the company has yet to confirm the official rebranding initiative. Recent discoveries by tech enthusiasts have fueled speculation about this upcoming change. In October, researcher Tero Alhonen uncovered options for AI-enabled applications, while X user Albacore recently spotted a placeholder settings page for Windows Intelligence in a Windows 24H2 build.
"Windows Intelligence" isn't entirely new to Microsoft's ecosystem, as it was previously used in security-related updates. However, this broader application signals a shift from its earlier security-focused context and appears to replace the "Windows AI" designation spotted in Group Policy earlier this year. The rebranding seems to follow a trend set by Apple, which has branded its AI features as "Apple Intelligence." However, Microsoft's approach with "Windows Intelligence" suggests a focus on creating a unified hub for AI features within its operating system rather than just a clever play on the "AI" acronym. While controversial features like Recall and the recently redesigned Copilot are expected to retain their current branding, Windows Intelligence could serve as an overarching framework for managing AI permissions and data usage across the platform.

Although Apple has the upper hand here, since its term can be shortened to AI. It's stupid either way.
Also Dhalsim's underlings pinned that copilot bullshit to my taskbar with the latest win update, they can go have intercourse with the copilot and each other as far as i'm concerned.
Once both consumers wake up that will be in the same boat as businesses NOT wanting this on thier PC's. I worry about how I am going to navigate the issue at whatever place of work I am at that isnt aware and I have to either have modify the install myself, or have a conversation and decide if I want to work there or not..
You know... When you boot the system and it says it needs to do an "Automatic Repair" to the OS, which always seems to never fix anything.
MS is catering to the withering stupidity crowd aggressively.
