Microsoft (MSFT) Unveils AI Toolbox for Xbox with Chatbot and More

We recently published a list of 11 AI News and Ratings You Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stands against other AI news and ratings you should not miss.

As tools like ChatGPT by OpenAI become more popular, a larger debate has been ignited among AI businesses in the United States over content creation and copyrights. AI startup OpenAI, the most valuable private firm in the world, recently won an important battle in this regard when a New York federal judge on November 7 dismissed a lawsuit against the company that alleged that the startup had misused articles from news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet to train its large language models. A spokesperson for the startup said in a statement following the ruling that OpenAI had built their AI models using publicly available data, in a manner protected by fair use and related principles, and supported by long-standing and widely accepted legal precedents.

The win is likely to further boost the future prospects of OpenAI, a startup that is already investing in other AI ventures. Latest reports, published by news agency Reuters, claim that the company was part of a funding round for Physical Intelligence, a startup that is developing foundational software for robots, earlier this week. The robot startup managed to raise more than $400 million in funding through the round. This valued the firm at more than $2 billion. Jeff Bezos and venture capital firms like Thrive Capital and Lux Capital were also part of the funding round. Research by venture capital firm Accel suggests that funding of AI and cloud companies in the US, Europe, and Israel is estimated to hit $79.2 billion by the end of 2024.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is a Washington-based technology company. On November 7, the company announced that it would be rolling out the first major AI-powered toolbox for the popular Xbox gaming console. As part of the toolbox, an AI chatbot would be included that would handle support queries. News publication The Verge reports that the tech giant will also include AI features into the dashboard of the gaming console on top of the AI chatbot, with natural language search functions not far behind. The features are expected to roll out worldwide in the coming weeks.

Overall, MSFT ranks 2nd on our list of AI news and ratings you should not miss.

Disclosure: None. This article is originally published at Insider Monkey.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:
