on Collaboration, Copilot & the Future of Work
summary
Research behind Microsoft Copilot focuses on using AI as a thought partner rather than an individual content generator, with a GAP study showing training users to treat AI that way doubles the odds of high-quality content. Work covers grounding Copilot in a user’s tenant content, using Researcher to synthesize sources for a keynote, applying reinforcement learning to close the loop on research, and publishing the New Future of Work report to capture experiments about collaborating across space and time.
