Large language model-powered tools like Copilot have the potential to increase labor productivity more than any technology in a generation. Motivated by the significance of this moment, researchers from across Microsoft have come together to measure and improve the productivity impacts of Copilot, as well as understand and mitigate externalities.
This group of researchers is part of Microsoft’s broader New Future of Work Initiative (opens in new tab), which is our research effort to make work better as work rapidly changes, from hybrid work to AI.
