Microsoft’s AI CEO on the future of the browser

Microsoft is evolving Edge with "Copilot Mode," where AI can control browser tabs and complete tasks while users watch. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman believes this approach—having AI navigate websites transparently rather than creating an entirely new browser—creates trust while still bringing traffic to publishers. The feature allows Copilot to open tabs, navigate pages, and conduct research autonomously, positioning Microsoft ahead of competitors like Google's Gemini and Perplexity's Comet in the rapidly evolving AI browser landscape.
