Bungie Studios had a habit of naming their AIs after mythological French swords; Durandal in Marathon, and Cortana in Halo. Microsoft ought to name their new AI assistant Hauteclaire or Joyeuse or something else that follows the theme, but I very much suspect that it’s going to be named by a committee of marketing execs. Much more likely to find scholars and poets developing software than in the C-suite.
