Discover how generative AI is reshaping organizations' work, collaboration, and creation through the transformative impact of Copilot, which has been deeply integrated into Microsoft’s portfolio. 

The Power of Generative AI

Generative AI is a branch of AI that can produce novel content, such as text, images, or code, based on data inputs and user prompts. Unlike traditional AI models that perform specific tasks, such as classification or regression, generative models can create diverse and creative outputs beyond the existing data. 

One of the most prominent examples of generative AI is GPT-4 Turbo, a large-scale language model developed by OpenAI and Microsoft. GPT-4 Turbo can generate natural language texts on various topics and domains, given a few words or sentences as input. It can also answer questions, summarize texts, write essays, generate code, and participate in reasoning. GPT-4 Turbo leverages deep neural networks and massive amounts of data to learn from patterns and relationships in natural language. 

Copilot, a user-friendly tool, harnesses the power of GPT-4 Turbo to assist business professionals, executives and managers, and administration in their workflows. Copilot can analyze data, identify patterns, and extract valuable insights. It can also suggest code snippets, drafts, and recommendations based on the user context and preferences. Copilot is deeply integrated into Microsoft’s portfolio, including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Security, Data Fabric & Database, Power Platform, Visual Studio Code, GitHub, and Azure. It can be extended with +200 professional 3rd party expert plugins.
