The tag explores how AI applicability scores are calculated based on task usage, success rates, and centrality to occupations, highlighting the distinction between knowledge work and hands-on roles.
Microsoft’s analysis of actual Copilot usage — drawn from roughly 200,000 anonymized conversations — offers one of the clearest snapshots yet of where today’s generative AI is already reshaping work: not in factories or on construction sites, but squarely in the cognitive, language‑heavy heart...
