LG webOS TVs have begun integrating a new artificial intelligence-powered assistant. Microsoft Copilot has started to quietly appear on LG TVs, following a recent webOS update. The move seems to follow LG's announced plans to add Copilot to its TV software.

And from what Digital Trends reports, it looks like the feature isn't something you can opt out of or uninstall. You can choose not to sign into the app or move the tile where you can't see it. But the app will stay installed on your television.

Microsoft's newest artificial intelligence feature, which is coming to Teams, allows you to sound like you are speaking a language you are not. The app offers a new AI interpreter that simulates your voice and provides near-real-time voice interpretation.

The feature is being tested by a limited group of users and is expected to roll out in 2025 for accounts with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. It initially supports nine languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish. Microsoft plans to add more languages in the future.

Microsoft Surface Pro rebooted: Faster, AI-ready, and now Qualcomm-powered

This flagship device boasts the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors (Elite and Plus versions), promising a significant performance leap—up to 90% faster than its predecessor.

The Pro embraces the future with optional 5G connectivity and a long-lasting battery—up to 14 hours of video playback (though not quite reaching the Surface Laptop's 20 hours). It remains incredibly thin and light, maintaining its familiar size despite the internal overhaul.
