There's a ton of stuff and I can only scratch the surface with this excerpt: "the introduction of a Copilot for Microsoft Windows (making AI available to a billion PC users), a Copilot for PowerBI (essentially making data analysis an out of the box exercise), a new Microsoft Fabric big data lake, and a set of tools to help developers build their own Copilots and add plug-ins from third party systems...  And to build on this strength in tools, SuccessFactors, the largest HR platform in the world (by users), just introduced Copilots into their suite and a deeper integration with Azure AI." It seems to me that the objections of the sceptics are simply overwhelmed by what this software can do. Bersin also writes, "We have built our own Josh Bersin Copilot (come see the preview at Irresistible 2023) and in only a few weeks we now have full conversational access to more than 20 years of research, more than 600 blogs and articles, our 100+ podcasts, and soon the Josh Bersin Academy." If I had the time, staff and resources, I'd do the same with my work. Related: Ben Dickson in TechTalks, How to create a private ChatGPT that interacts with your local documents.
