A new study from Microsoft reveals which jobs are most — and least — susceptible to generative AI, based on an analysis of 200,000 anonymized conversations with Bing Copilot users in 2024.

A new study by Microsoft Research (MSR) has analyzed 200,000 conversations between users from various walks of life and Microsoft Bing Copilot, which revealed some interesting findings. This study claims that some occupations are unlikely to be impacted much by generative AI.
