That’s a wrap! Hope the #NewFutureOfWork report helps you #LeadLikeAScientist. Of course that means experimenting. But remember, the scientific process is also about learning from others (e.g., via this report) and sharing & validating your findings. #Slide41 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Are LLMs the printing press of our time? They democratize knowledge, empower creativity, and enable collaboration. But they also require responsibility, accountability, and ethics. We can write the future of work with them. #NewFutureOfWork #Slide40 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Monitoring my kids as toddlers was boring enough, monitoring AI is even worse! I developed #microproductivity to help myself multitask while watching my kids, but also explored its impact on self-driving car takeover: teevan.org/publications... #NewFutureOfWork #Slide35 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

People form opinions about #GenAI – and anticipate the related workflow changes – before using it. Don't let your opinions stray from reality. Use AI to build your expectations from experience. Where to start? Copilot (copilot.microsoft.com)! #NewFutureOfWork #Slide34 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

What if LLMs could not only help us with our work, but also our work habits? By offering coaching and actionable feedback after a meeting, for example, LLMs can help us collaborate better. See MeetingCoach: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #NewFutureOfWork #Slide29 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Everyone knows Copilot summarizes meetings - so you can go to FEWER mtgs. But Copilot can also catalyze conversation - so you can go to BETTER mtgs. Look for suggested prompts like: "What Qs are unresolved?" or "List different perspectives by topic." #NewFutureOfWork #Slide28 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

GPT4 aced the USMLE exam (required to practice medicine in the US), but can it actually help me stay healthy? I'd really like a standing metaprompt that subtly encourages me to eat well & exercise, even when not thinking about it. #NewFutureOfWork #Slide26 #GoalDirectedAI aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

GitHub was our first product to integrate LLMs, and for good reason: LLMs are great at translating NL to code. Developers work 56% faster with AI, and those with less experience benefit most. Imagine the possibilities when coding's as easy as talking! #NewFutureOfWork #Slide24 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

You can’t perceive a 100ms delay, but when your search results are just 100ms slower you think they’re worse. LLMs prove the benefit of little extra compute time. Can #SlowSearch (teevan.org/publications...) teach us how to make the latency worth it? #NewFutureofWork #Slide23 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

How did hashtags and at-mentions become a thing? Twitter learned from user behavior. LLMs are no different. Millions of chats are creating new patterns and possibilities every day. What new features will emerge? #NewFutureofWork #Slide22 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Don't let AI go to your head! GenAI imposes new metacognitive demands, requiring we plan, monitor & evaluate our cognitive strategies. One way to improve AI systems is to explicitly integrate metacognitive support (e.g., via self-reflective prompts). #NewFutureofWork #Slide19 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

LLMs will change the skills students need to learn, and the way they learn them. I look forward to exploring how AI can support (v. substitute for) learning in my keynote at #BETT2024 this Wed (uk.bettshow.com/keynote-spea...). #NewFutureofWork #Slide25 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Parlez-vous IA? LLMs do surprisingly well with different languages. So well, in fact, that Copilot is the first time Microsoft has released a major AI feature that works in all of our most popular languages right out of the gate. #NewFutureofWork #Slide20 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

You need to audit AI output differently from human output because it makes different kinds of mistakes. E.g., AI is unlikely to be adversarial but more likely to hallucinate. Co-audit tools (arxiv.org/pdf/2310.012...) help with evaluating AI output. #NewFutureofWork #Slide18 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

You can trust AI more when you know when it's wrong. Spatharioti et al. (arxiv.org/pdf/2307.037...) showed that highlighting uncertain AI answers improved decision accuracy. Uncertainty can be a chance to learn from AI, not just trust it. #NewFutureofWork #Slide17 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Prompt engineering is a hot topic in ML research. Many papers find a good prompt on a weak model can outperform a bad one on better model (e.g., arxiv.org/abs/2311.16452). To make these gains durable, researchers now use LLMs for prompt writing, too. #NewFutureofWork #Slide13 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

DYK adding "Let's work together to solve this problem!" to your prompt can improve the outcome (arxiv.org/abs/2309.03409)? But don't get too attached to your prompts – LLMs are evolving fast so your favorites might not work as well on a new model. #NewFutureofWork #Slide12 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

With 4 kids in (or soon to start) college, I sometimes wonder what skills they'll need as work changes. I hope I'm teaching them critical thinking and emotional intelligence - but, of course, that's hard to tell with teenagers! :P #NewFutureofWork #Slide11 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

My favorite way to use an LLM is for critical thinking. When summarizing an article, I prompt, “What questions should I ask?” When writing a hard email, I ask it to predict how my message will land. I even used an LLM to get feedback on this post. #NewFutureofWork #Slide9 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

In a significant departure from previous info technologies, inexperienced workers receive more of the productivity boost from generative AI. This shows up across multiple studies by researchers like Brynjolfsson, Dell'Acqua, Mollick, Noy, Peng, etc. #NewFutureofWork #Slide8 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

When you first try using AI for work, start with the tasks where the research literature shows it'll help the most, like search, summarization, first drafts. According to aka.ms/productivity..., you'll see real productivity gains. #NewFutureofWork #Slide7 aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

Most research right now studies how much faster AI makes you (answer: a lot, with similar quality output). But I'm more curious how people will use the extra time. To produce unimaginably high quality? Do entirely new things? #NewFutureofWork #Slide6 #GoDawgs aka.ms/nfw2023pdf#p...

There is a LOT being published right now about how LLMs are changing work. The #NewFutureofWork report focuses specifically on areas that we think deserve additional attention or where research being done at Microsoft offers a unique perspective. #Slide5 aka.ms/nfw2023
