During Microsoft’s Surface and AI event, the firm outlined the future of Windows, Surface AI PCs, and the new Microsoft Copilot AI features. They did this, of course, through the classy medium of a Minecraft Let’s Play. 

While you can’t watch any streams from the actual showcase itself, you can see a small clip that was posted by an attendee on Twitter, which shows a snippet from the Minecraft and Copilot demonstration.
