Microsoft study examines how AI is changing the labor market
Microsoft researchers analyzed 200,000 anonymized conversations between users and Bing Copilot, between January and September 2024, to identify what people use AI for. They found users mainly rely on it to search for information and draft texts, and that the most frequent tasks are providing data, offering assistance, writing content, teaching and advising. Based on this, they built an applicability indicator by occupation: computing, mathematics and administrative support rank among the most exposed jobs, along with sales. The company clarified this does not mean jobs will be eliminated.

The city school system has 1.3 million Chromebooks, about 500,000 of them assigned to students.
