![]() ĪI pushing its way into the workplace – not only from Microsoft but other tech beasts, such as Google and Facebook – may help with productivity by taking over repetitive tasks. "The platform shift to AI is underway and will completely transform the way people work," Microsoft claimed in the opening sentence of its 29-page 2023 Work Trend Index report. Google Cloud pitches 'Gen Apps' – low-code AI-based tools, not post-millennial kids.Microsoft helps devs create chatbots – because who needs human interaction anyway?.Microsoft's Copilot AI to pervade the whole 365 suite.Microsoft enlarges its cockpit of Copilots to include security.Unsurprisingly for a corporation that is spending billions to back OpenAI and integrate the upstart's products like GPT-4, DALL-E, and ChatGPT throughout the Microsoft portfolio – AI will fix a lot of these problems, it's said. This found that workers spend more than half their work day on collaboration tools like Teams and similar apps rather than innovating. Of course, there's a study included to back up Microsoft's case. "There's an enormous opportunity for AI-powered tools to help alleviate digital debt, build AI aptitude, and empower employees." ![]() "This new generation of AI will remove the drudgery of work and unleash creativity," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said. Congratulations! You're free from drudgery, allegedly However, it's not slowing down the company's hype for AI in the workplace. Here's an example Spataro gave: a staffer asks Copilot for a March sales report, and the system goes beyond looking for documents that simply have those words in the filename or body, and instead figures out the intent of the query, understands which employee from what team produces that report and where it's created, and uses all of that to better locate the required data, it's claimed.Īll this follows an already aggressive expansion of Copilot in other areas of Microsoft's portfolio, from Office and Teams to Viva, GitHub, and security tools, with most in preview or other early-stage points. It will be able to better parse input prompts and return more precisely the information being looked for, we're promised. The new Semantic Index for Copilot in Microsoft 365 for E3 and E5 users will help organizations get ready for the oncoming infusion of AI into the workplace, Spataro opined. "And, they've identified areas where we can do more to help people adapt to this new way of working, like the need for more conversational, multi-turn interactions." Even More Copilot "They point to how it is a game changer for meetings and is beginning to transform the way they create," Spataro said. According to Jared Spataro, corporate vice president of modern work and business applications at Microsoft, the "overwhelming feedback" from those first 20 enterprises is that "Copilot has the potential to revolutionize work." We expected nothing less.
