About the program
Large language models and related AI systems are expected to fundamentally change how work gets done in the coming years.
Over the last two years, the Microsoft New Future of Work Initiative has funded academic projects related to how language models are fundamentally changing how work gets done. The intent has been to fund high-quality proposals that specifically explored the use of language models – small and large – in productivity scenarios and redefined what work is in various contexts.
