The New Future of Work - Microsoft Research (original) (raw)
The New Future of Work is a cross-company research initiative dedicated to creating solutions for a future of work that is meaningful, productive, and equitable. It began during the pandemic in response to an urgent need to understand remote work practices. When many people returned to the office, the focus shifted to supporting the hybrid work transition. Then in 2023, another generational shift in work occurred when language models made the leap from the lab into the real world, a shift that could make the changes to remote and hybrid work look small by comparison.
The future of work with AI is not a forgone conclusion, and this initiative exists to not just study work with AI, but to help Microsoft build a new future of work with AI that empowers every person on the planet.
This site features research from the initiative that has been published in peer-reviewed scientific venues, as well as resources to help you navigate a rapidly changing work environment and thrive in the age of AI. We recently published our 2024 Report that summarizes some of the exciting work in this space.
AI and the New Future of Work CFP | Spring 2024
Language models are fundamentally changing how work gets done, and high-quality academic research is needed to ensure that the new future of work that they will help create is bright. We awarded five recipients for this CFP that received over 160 submissions!
