"Assessing more than 200,000 interactions with its Copilot generative AI chatbot, the tech giant has produced a comprehensive list of the occupations in which AI is most and least applicable. Office jobs such as sales and communication roles are among those most at risk from AI, as the ever-developing software takes on more of the tasks usually carried out by workers in these fields."
"The analysis established which tasks were being carried out the most often, and with the highest level of success, and this enabled it to determine the occupations with the highest AI overlap. The workers whose roles were found to have the greatest overlap with AI were interpreters and translators, with 98 per cent of their work activities overlapping with tasks carried out by Copilot, often with a high degree of success."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and funds free access journalism through reader donations. The outlet highlights documentaries such as 'The A Word' and pledges balanced coverage without paywalls to reach a broad political spectrum. Microsoft analysed over 200,000 Copilot interactions to map task overlap between the AI tool and specific occupations, measuring both frequency and effectiveness. The analysis found office roles—particularly sales and communication positions—are vulnerable to automation. Interpreters and translators showed the highest overlap, with 98 percent of their activities matching Copilot tasks.
