A new AI era at work with Copilot+ PCs

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, innovation is the key to staying ahead and being competitive. Business leaders must continuously seek ways to optimize processes, enhance productivity, and drive growth. AI is a transformative force that is reshaping how organizations operate. From healthcare and finance to manufacturing and logistics, AI is making its mark across diverse industries. But AI isn’t just about automation, it’s about unlocking new possibilities and empowering humans to focus on what truly matters. 

A recent Work Trend Index report1 revealed that 64% of employees surveyed face ‘brain-drain’ caused by challenges managing work tasks due to lack of energy and time. These people are 3.5X more likely to struggle with innovation and strategic thinking. In the same study, 70% of employees say they would use AI to lighten workload. According to a global study by IDC2 focused on the business value and opportunity of AI in the workplace, 71% of organizations are currently using AI, and for every $1 a company invests in AI, it is realizing an average return of $3.5X. The IDC study illustrates that AI has a measurable impact on businesses.

The AI vision: Turbocharge your business impact

Ultimately, business leaders look to AI to accelerate workforce innovation, boost problem solving, and stay competitive in the marketplace. Employees want AI to simplify their workday, elevate their work and help them make a bigger impact. Ultimately, this is all good for the business. The most ambitious leaders don’t just want employees to get the job done. ​They need their employees to want to make a difference, to grow the business, and to innovate. They want inventors, instigators and disruptors operating at scale. ​For results-driven employees--and ones who know that the path to success lies in continuous innovation--they need to be empowered by smarter PCs, apps, and tools to increase efficiency and elevate their potential. 

Done right, AI in the workplace can address the high expectations of both business leaders and employees.
