Feeling overloaded with AI announcements? Sorry, but it's tech developer conference season and Microsoft Build is next.

Microsoft's annual developer conference is following on the heels of Google I/O and OpenAI's Spring Update, and Apple's WWDC is just a few weeks later. So, for this year's edition of Build, you can expect a lot of AI announcements relating to how Copilot AI is being integrated into Windows.

The event will be held on Tuesday, May 21, but not before Microsoft holds a Surface AI event on May 20 to showcase its new Qualcomm Snapdragon Surface Pro laptops. These were announced back in March, and the rollout follows a similar strategy to what's been seen past the few weeks at Google's Pixel 8a and Apple M4 iPad reveals — announcing all the new hardware before dumping heaps of AI announcements on consumers.
