Microsoft wants to remake the internet, and AI agents are key to its plan

2025-06-02 20:15:07 英文原文

Microsoft sees artificial intelligence transforming the internet as fundamentally as mobile phones have over the past two decades. But the technology’s limitations could curb its grand vision.

Generative AI – which creates content based on a user’s request – burst into the zeitgeist in late 2022 when Microsoft-backed OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a conversational chatbot that could take a simple request and generate anything from a limerick to a college essay.

Less than three years later, Microsoft has a plan to move beyond ChatGPT and its copycats by creating the foundation for a new version of the internet.

Microsoft calls it the “open agentic web”, with users sending AI-powered “agents” out into the void to do their bidding. Casual consumers primarily interact with AI now through a Google search – one that repeatedly drums up false answers – or a ChatGPT-style chatbot that generates a conversation.

In Microsoft’s eyes, chatbots are old news.

摘要

Microsoft envisions artificial intelligence fundamentally transforming the internet, similar to how mobile phones have over the past two decades, but acknowledges potential limitations. Following the success of ChatGPT in late 2022, Microsoft aims to go beyond chatbot technology by developing an "open agentic web," where AI-powered agents execute tasks on behalf of users. The company sees AI agents as the future of internet interaction, surpassing current methods like Google searches and chatbots.
