Microsoft Is Testing Letting Copilot AI Interact With Your Whole Desktop
Microsoft has confirmed an upcoming expansion to its Copilot AI chatbot's screen-sharing abilities: Soon it will be able to process your entire desktop, not just certain parts of it. The company said Tuesday that this expansion of Copilot's Vision capabilities has begun public testing. This update, now rolling out to the company's Windows Insider program testers, will allow the AI chatbot to view, process and react to all aspects of a user's desktop, where beforehand it was limited to specific apps or windows. With this update in place, Copilot should be to process and react to multiple windows and apps at the same time. Microsoft touted the ability for it to assist with all aspects of a project you might be working on. The Vision feature can be activated by selecting the "glasses" icon and selecting which desktop you'd like to share, and can be closed out by hitting "Stop" or "X" in the composer. "When you share your desktop (or any specific browser or app window), Copilot can see what you see and talk to you about it in real time," Microsoft's blog post said. "It can help analyze content, provide insights, and answer your questions, coaching you through it aloud. Get tips on making improvements to your creative project, help with improving your resume, or guidance while navigating a new game."

English Premier League integrates Microsoft AI into fan app in new 5-year deal
The English Premier League is bringing artificial intelligence to the soccer pitch through a new partnership with Microsoft. The five-year agreement will integrate Microsoft's Copilot AI into the English Premier League app, offering fans access to more than 300,000 articles, 9,000 videos and statistics from the league dating back to its founding in 1992. Future iterations of the technology will translate text and audio into a user's native language and will enhance the digital Fantasy Premier League offerings. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. "This partnership will help us engage with fans in new ways — from personalized content to real-time match insights," Richard Masters, English Premier League CEO, said in a news release. The English Premier League is widely seen as the most prestigious soccer organization in the world and is the most-watched, airing matches in 189 countries and reaching 900 million homes globally, according to the league. "By leveraging our secure cloud and AI technologies — including Azure AI Foundry Services with Azure OpenAI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Dynamics 365 — we will transform how football is experienced, delivered, and managed on and off the field," Judson Althoff, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Microsoft, said in a statement. Under the partnership, Microsoft is also becoming the league's cloud computing partner after a previous contract with Oracle ended. The English Premier League season begins Aug. 15. Before that, fans can watch the Premier League Summer Series, a tournament of "friendly," or exhibition, matches, from July 26 to Aug. 3 in the U.S. The first matches will be held at MetLife Stadium near New York City with Everton facing AFC Bournemouth and Manchester United facing West Ham United.

NBA mock draft 2025: AI predictions roundup for first round picks
Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper are the two players and picks NBA mock drafts and AI agree on. If the folks who devise mock drafts and the data and algorithms that fuel artificial intelligence are correct, the first two picks of the 2025 NBA draft are a near certainty at this point, despite still being a week away. Cooper Flagg is going to be the No. 1 selection by the Dallas Mavericks and the Rutgers guard Dylan Harper will go No. 2 to the San Antonio Spurs when the NBA convenes in Brooklyn beginning Wednesday, June 25 for the draft. Almost every mock draft, including the most recent one produced by USA TODAY's NBA experts, has them being chosen in that order. But so does almost every major AI platform. USA TODAY Sports asked five AI programs ‒ Microsoft Copilot AI, Meta AI, Grok AI, Google Gemini AI, ChatGPT AI ‒ to produce simulations of every pick during the 2025 NBA draft first round. Each one had Flagg as the No. 1 pick and Harper as the No. 2 choice. After that, however, there wasn't much consensus between the humans and AI. Baylor's VJ Edgecombe, Rutgers wing Ace Bailey, Duke's Kon Knueppel and Texas guard Tre Johnson were the only other consensus top-10 picks, according to the AI projections. There were 45 players chosen overall among the various AI projections for the 30 spots in the first round and a wide range of outcomes, particularly outside the lottery selections. Here's a breakdown of each AI simulation for the first round of the 2025 NBA draft, as well as how they compare to the latest USA TODAY Sports mock draft: IN DEPTH: How the explosion of NIL money changed the 2025 NBA draft NBA draft 2025: AI predictions for every first round pick Note: Microsoft Copilot AI simulation conducted prior to the NBA early entry deadline and includes two prospects (Yaxel Landeborg and Alex Karaban) who later chose to return to college.
