What is Microsoft Working with AI?

Microsoft studied U.S. Bing Copilot conversations linked with work activities. The study compares how often AI may help and how well it performs.

Why it matters

Why we use Microsoft Working with AI

This study helps us see which work activities people asked Bing Copilot to help with.

What people asked Copilot to help with
Microsoft matched conversation topics to familiar work activities, such as writing or gathering information.
Whether Copilot helped or did more of the task
Separate measures look at assistance and successful completion. They are not the same thing.
How that activity connects to a job
Microsoft combines the matched activities for each job, based on how important those activities are.

Good to know

The window is narrow: The study covers U.S. Bing Copilot conversations from January through September 2024.
The job connection is indirect: The conversation is matched to an activity first. That activity is then connected to a job.
More AI activity does not mean fewer jobs: A higher figure means Copilot matched more of the job's activities. It does not predict job loss.
