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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This group of researchers is part of Microsoft\u2019s broader New Future of Work Initiative (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, which is our research effort to make work better as work rapidly changes, from hybrid work to AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
