Understanding the Tool: What is Microsoft Copilot and Modern AI? 

To begin, we explore the evolution of AI in the workplace and how it’s reshaping knowledge work. We’ll demystify prompt engineering and explain its role in improving the accuracy and usefulness of AI output. Importantly, we take a look at responsible use, including ethics, data privacy, and how to balance human judgment with AI-generated content. 

Applied Intelligence: How AI Helps in the Flow of Work 

AI’s value comes from how it’s applied. We’ll clarify what Microsoft Copilot can do, how it functions across the Microsoft Suite, and how it compares with other tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

AI will continue to evolve rapidly, and organizations need to stay agile. Discussing how teams can build shared norms for using AI tools to maintain clarity and trust, we’ll explore how to evaluate new AI tools as they enter the workplace, and how to stay proactive—adapting to the technology without becoming overwhelmed by it.
