Microsoft has introduced Mico, an expressive animated face for its Copilot AI assistant, as part of a broader 'human-centered AI' update. This optional feature aims to make interactions more engaging, drawing inspiration from past digital helpers like Clippy. The changes roll out first in the US, with international availability soon.
