In a major 2025 study, Microsoft Research analyzed 200,000 anonymized U.S.-based conversations with Bing Copilot to see what kinds of work tasks people are using AI for—and how well the AI handles them. By matching these tasks to official job categories from the O*NET database, the study maps out which occupations are most exposed to AI capabilities.
