Microsoft waded into the debate over AI in gaming last week .

The company recently revealed Muse , its new AI model that can generate gameplay.

Muse is a Microsoft Research project at heart, but Microsoft presented it in a way that linked it directly to Xbox and the future of the company’s gaming efforts.

Microsoft says it’s now leaving it up to its own game studios to decide on how AI is used across their games.

There might be growing pushback against AI in gaming from developers and players, but I don’t think it will be long until other Xbox game studios make the decision to use AI tools or AI -generated content.

Microsoft launches next-gen Phi AI models and launches Copilot Voice and Think Deeper free with unlimited use.

Microsoft is testing free Office for Windows apps with ads that include 15-second video ads.

Microsoft has finalized its multiyear project to allow its European customers to store and process their data within European Union countries.

Microsoft pauses the rollout of its redesigned Windows 11 battery indicator.

Microsoft calls on the Trump administration to avoid a strategic misstep in the AI global race.
