Microsoft, a leading technology company, continues to develop its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with recent advancements like Mico, an animated avatar for Copilot's voice mode. However, Microsoft faces significant challenges as highlighted by studies showing that AI chatbots such as ChatGPT frequently distort news and struggle with factual accuracy. Additionally, the company’s 2025 Digital Defense Report warns of a surge in AI-powered cyberattacks in Africa, indicating growing threats from deepfakes and digital impersonation. These developments underscore Microsoft's ongoing efforts to balance technological innovation with the need for security and reliability, reflecting its significant role in shaping the future of technology and cybersecurity.
