This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips.
Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live and Adobe Firefly, the all-in-one creative AI studio.
Just describe what you want to create and the assistant handles the rest,
orchestrating multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere Express, and more in one conversational interface.
You direct the outcome.
The assistant accelerates execution.
We always think of generative AI pushing business outcomes,
maximizing our efficiency.
And it does.
It absolutely does.
It makes us all more efficient and it can multiply our business outcomes.
But what about ourselves?
What can generative AI do in terms of helping us learn better and also lead better as well?
So that's what we're going to talk about today on Everyday AI.
My name's Jordan Wilson.
And if you're new here, Everyday AI is a daily live stream, podcast, and free daily newsletter,
helping everyday people like you and me, not just learn what's going on in the world of generative AI
because it's hard to keep up literally.
There's huge news every day.
But how we can also take all of that, take all of those learnings and apply it practically
to growing our careers and to growing our companies.
I'm excited for today's show because we have a leader at
Microsoft joining us to tell us how Microsoft co-pilot specifically can help advance your leadership
and advance your learning. So make sure you get your questions in now, get them ready. I know
today's show is going to be a popular show. And if you are joining us on the podcast,
thank you. You can always check the show notes. You can come back and join a thread. We usually
have a thread on LinkedIn with a bunch of back and forth QAW. But before we do, as we do every
single day, let's first go over what's going on in the world of AI news.
So Elon Musk is looking to raise one billion for XAI.
Yes, that is billion with AB.
So XAI is founded by Elon Musk and has filed for an equity offering of up to $1 billion
according to recent reports.
So XAI will obviously compete directly with other AI companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft,
Google, and just about everyone out there building their own large language models.
So the big difference with the platform,
their building is called Rock.
I believe that's the pronunciation,
but it uses real-time data from Twitter.
People ask me all the time.
Jordan, what's your thoughts?
I'm not necessarily going to spend a lot of time using this platform.
That's just me, something that's based largely off Twitter data.
I don't know how great I feel about that.
That's just me.
Next piece of big news in the UK when it comes to AI and financial stability.
So the Bank of England plans to assess the risk of artificial intelligence
and machine learning in the financial services sector.
next year. This is just, just came out literally less than an hour ago news of this,
but bank governor Andrew Bailey is acknowledging the potential benefits and danger of these
technologies and stresses the important of understanding and regulating their use.
So there should keep your eye on what's going on in the UK when it comes to AI and financial
regulation because it does look like they're going to be making some moves as the EU in
particular is kind of leading the worldwide charge in terms of government regulation of generative
AI and other technologies.
And last but not least,
Nvidia is looking to make an iconic AI investment.
This has nothing to do with their GPU chips that we're always talking about.
So, Nvidia CEO Jensen Wu Yang is currently making a major investment in Singapore for the
country's booming technology industry.
So according to recent reports, this new investment would include potentially building a larger
supercomputer and backing an iconic site for AI development.
And Vydea is already has a supercomputer and AI technology center in Singapore, but it is looking to further invest and double down in the country's AI development.
So wow, a lot going on in the in the world of AI news.
And like I always tell you, there's always so much more.
So if you want to know more, make sure to go to your everyday AI.com.
Sign up for the free daily newsletter.
We always go over more things of what's happening in the world of AI news as well as other tools and trends and everything like that.
But we also break down every single podcast guests, their appearance on the show like we're going to be doing today.
So with that, I'm extremely excited for our guest today.
So Microsoft Copilot, I think, has been grabbing all of the headlines and rightfully so after it's been starting to get released to enterprise customers a little more than a month ago.
And so let's talk about what that means and how you can use Microsoft Copilot to advance your learning and advance your leadership.
And if you do have questions, get them now.
So please help me.
Welcome to the show.
There we go.
We got her.
Carol, Carol Scott, the Senior Director of Software and Digital Platforms at Microsoft.
Carol, thank you for joining us West Coast Time 5 a.m.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Thank you for having me.
I'm excited to be here.
Absolutely.
Well, hey, real quick, let's start here.
Can you tell us a little bit about what your role is at Microsoft and a little bit about what you do?
Sure.
So my role as a senior director,
at Microsoft. I'm in the Software and Digital Platforms group, and that group was formed last year
to put all of our large partners and platforms and digital natives that build on Microsoft
in one enterprise group. And so I lead our largest partner groups in the West for customer
success. So we have really large partners like Adobe and Teradata and Snowflake and many others.
And so it's an exciting time because our group is leading Microsoft globally in AI.
And speaking of leading globally in AI, this is the hill I'm willing to die on everyone.
If you've heard the show, you know I'm a huge proponent of Microsoft co-pilot.
I'm a big fan of what they're working on.
But Carol, from someone that knows much more than the rest of us, maybe just give us a little
walkthrough of even what Microsoft co-pilot even is.
Yes, so, you know, Microsoft is using this term co-pilot as your everyday companion.
So as you see here, it talks about your everyday companion for work and life.
And even before we had access to co-pilot, I think everyone that is really focusing on, you know, using GenAI,
sees how it can be used in your everyday life.
And so one of the themes that I really like is that at the end,
end of the day, we're always in control of the output that we use. So, you know, we may be using
Gen AI. We may be getting answers. But then at the end of the day, we get to, you know, choose how we use
it. But like this says here, we definitely get more personalized answers. Productivity is shut up.
And also that creativity. I truly believe this is like the right brain moment. I like to say that
Gen AI requires using your whole brain. I know there's a lot of focus on STEM and of course
in development and that's great, but you really do have to dig deep and think about like how
you use your natural language to be more creative. So I think it's helping all of us see
creative parts of us that maybe we haven't even seen before. And if you are, you know,
maybe newer to generative AI, you know, Carol, can you just a little bit explain? Because I
one of the main benefits, at least from my vantage point, of Microsoft copilot is it comes to your
operating system, right? So if you are one of those enterprise teams that has access to Microsoft 365
copilot, it actually brings all of these capabilities to all of the programs that you use kind of
across your operating system. Can you just real quickly just talk a little bit about how that changes
the way that companies can even work? Yeah. So it's been very exciting to get our hands on
co-pilot, and I do want to clarify that copilot is not one thing. It's really a capability,
right? It's your AI companion. So we have like 41 co-pilots in Microsoft alone. It's definitely the
ones and people have been hearing about in 365, GitHub and others, and then custom co-pilots.
But let me give you a little bit of background around how this works with 365 and at
the operating level and why right now it's at the enterprise level. So each person at Microsoft,
so I'll use myself, has what's called the Microsoft graph. And that is all the data. Think of it like
your enterprise one drive and then anything anyone in my network has shared with me in my own
ecosystem. And then I also have accessed, you know, based on my permissions to work with and access
other data within Microsoft.
So the beauty of enterprise copilot is it really supercharges
and differentiates your corporate data.
So it's definitely on top of Microsoft OpenAI,
and then you have access to corporate data,
then you have access to your own data.
So as a knowledge user, when I go in and I use co-pilot
in different ways, whether it's in teams
or whether it's in office or
you know, 365 at the operating level, it will pull data from everything that I have access to.
And so it's really required us to think differently because even in your prompting,
once you know more of what you have access to, then it's even you can like prompt better and get
more out of it. And speaking of getting more out of it, and this is really what I want to talk about.
Because yes, Microsoft copilot and other Gen AI systems can make your work much more efficient and effective.
But, you know, Carol, even from someone that's using it, right, how has this changed specifically, just Gen AI in general?
How has it changed the way that you learn, right?
Because I think that L&D learning and development is going to change a lot.
But even for you, how is this change the way that you learn now that you have access to this level of Gen AI and copilot?
Yeah, that's a great question because I have a background in learning and development in addition to digital transformation and cloud adoption.
And so I was very excited to go in and see what I could do with it.
So I've been a power user and subscriber of chat GPT Plus since the beginning.
And the thing that blew me away, first of all, is how quickly you can develop materials.
And obviously, you know, you have to make sure it's accurate and things like that.
But a lot of the way I'm using is on content, maybe they, I already know or something I'm wanting to learn.
And so first of all, like the time to develop and the way you can iterate has been transformative.
So what I have done to practice, and I would encourage people to do this, especially in L&D, is say you take, you know, a McKinsey article that's 10 pages.
So this is what I do with a lot of articles.
Do I even want to read this?
So I pop it in there and I summarize it.
Then I'll say, create an executive briefing on this.
Create a one-day workshop.
Create a workshop for executives.
Of course, it blows me away that it does it in like less than 60 seconds.
I mean, that is amazing.
So then the other thing I've been doing with it is simulation.
So I've been working on a workshop that I'm going to deliver with someone
on like bias in the workplace and how to advocate for yourself.
And so first of all, it went, it's gone very quickly.
And then I've been actually doing simulations.
And again, nobody told me this.
I was just like, oh, can I simulate and do practice?
And so the answer is yes.
And then you can tell it, I want to go five rounds.
So you play the person doing X.
I play the person doing Y.
and I want to go back.
And then it'll say, oh, you did a good job or you could have done this or that.
And like for coaching and things like that, it's been amazing.
I still think for sure, humans need to be involved and you need to be thinking about what those use cases are.
But I think as a self-learner, and I'm a curious person anyway, but I like to, you know, people talk about it supercharging.
But it's definitely supercharged my learning and got me.
thinking to different ways that this can be used.
Oh, I love this. I'm so excited. I have so many follow-up questions.
Hey, as a reminder, if you are joining us live, make sure to get your questions in.
I see a couple so far. We'll get to them.
But I want, you know, it's not every day we can talk to a senior director at Microsoft
and help us understand Gen AI at such a great level.
But Carol, one thing you mentioned there that I love is being able to learn better, right?
And even in your example, I'm doing the same thing, right?
Like I'll see a 50-page research paper and people are always asking me, Jordan, how do you
stay up with what's going on in the world of AI. I say, well, I use AI instead of, you know,
reading that 50 page research paper, I have a gen AI system, break it down into bullet points and a
little two-minute podcast as an example. But the simulation side, I want to ask you some questions
because people think I think of AI, just like, oh, this is helping me. It's just an extension of
myself. But how has this specifically changed the learning for you when you look at, you know,
co-pilot or chat GPT as almost a second person and not just an
extension of yourself, but almost like a consultant per se, helping you learn. You know,
how has using it in that way and the simulation way really changed how you learn? Right. So one of
the things as a leader, so I've been a manager and a leader for a long time. And sometimes we
have to have challenging situations. And so when I view it as my companion, I can go in and
simulate a conversation and say, hey, I'm thinking about this. Can you help me say this?
in a more constructive but direct way.
You know, when I'm working with my team,
there are times when, you know,
I'm trying to think about like how I want to present something.
But one thing that's really changing and it's so exciting now that we all have
copilot and teams and stuff is we're all showing up with a new level of understanding
and expectation because, and so you're starting in a new place.
You don't have to spend all the time getting everyone up to speed on certain things.
Or one of the exciting things like in meetings, and again, you do have to turn on co-pilot.
You know, there's kind of like, hey, we want to turn this on.
Yes, you know, we do think about what we say, not that we're saying anything.
We're not supposed to, but there are sometimes, you know, you're like, maybe I don't want everything I said recorded.
but the benefit of the notes and the learnings.
And so it's just really been that companion.
And it's almost becoming the expectation that, like the unwritten expectation,
that everyone has these tools.
They are using them.
And so we're really starting in a new place.
Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create,
bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience.
experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one
creative AI studio. Powered by Adobe's creative agent, Firefly AI assistant lets you start with
your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the assistant.
The assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows, drawing on 60 plus pro-grade tools across Adobe
Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, Lightroom Express, and more to help
bring your ideas to life.
You can also get started with creative skills, a growing library of pre-built workflows for
common creative tasks like batch editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching, and
creating social variations.
Every step the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any
time.
You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director.
Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta.
See it today at Firefly.
It's starting starting in a new place.
It's such like that's such a good idea because I think before Gen.
AI, it seemed like, you know, day to day work was sometimes repetitive.
And I do think, you know, Carol, what you said there, starting in a new place.
Yes, you can start a project your day in different ways that maybe you didn't have the skill set to start your work at a certain place before.
I think now Gen AI changes that.
A great, great question here, Woozy.
Thanks for this.
because I didn't even think of this.
But Carol, what's the feature of co-pilot you are using the most?
Okay.
So my favorite one in team, so we basically have a co-pilot that goes across, like I said, our entire
graph.
So all of our messages, all of our meetings.
So I can go in.
So yesterday I was at a women's conference and several other things.
So when I get off here, I'm going to go in and say, recap my day, my meetings.
What did I miss?
And so it will go through and summarize everything.
And then it actually has links to all of that content.
And the other thing is meeting summaries because we can't go to meetings, all the meetings.
And so now, again, it's kind of that expectation.
And I'll give one quick example.
So we have an AI group for our software development platforms group.
And a lot of times I can't make those meetings, even though I'm interested.
And it's almost daily.
And so I go in every day and I look at the summary of the notes and who spoke and who did what.
And so just that meeting summary in and of itself has been great.
And then also I love PowerPoint, you know, being able to take an idea or upload a document
and then it automatically will generate a PowerPoint for you.
So, you know, and still learning these things.
But I do think using it kind of in the flow of work that way has been great.
And then, of course, we now are starting to have co-pilots built into our different systems that are offering us insights.
You know, I would call them kind of the custom co-pilots.
But it's definitely exciting.
And there is positive peer pressure to learn this stuff because there is training and learning.
but you're never, and I would say this with chat GPT,
even if you don't have access to it,
because I know, and there was a question around,
when will SMEs have it?
I mean, I don't have an actual date for that.
I've heard that, you know, they do want to get there for that.
But one thing I would say is you can use Bing chat for free.
You can use chat GPT.
I still think the best $20.
I will never give up my chat GPT plus.
And so there's a lot of the ideation and creativity.
and stuff that you can do with that.
But yeah, it's very exciting to have access to it.
And honestly, even with chat GPT before I had access to co-pilot,
it feels like such a privilege.
I'm like, I cannot believe we have access that billions of dollars
have been poured into this at no cost.
And I know people went through this when they had the internet and this and that we take it for
granted, but there's really no excuse for anyone to not be able to go and use, like, for free,
we have people can use the Bing chat. They can use Image Creator, which is on Dolly,
which you have access to in chat, GPT. You can use designer. Yeah, so I'll stop there.
No, Carol, like, you brought up a great point, specifically, you know, your example of, you know,
saying, hey, maybe there's a meeting that you can't attend, right? And then co-pilot, true to its,
you know, name can almost take over, can almost take over piloting for you, right? Right.
I think when we think about, you know, Gen A.I and Microsoft co-pilot like that, it's very interesting
because there's times when, you know, you, Carol, may need to step in and be the pilot and have,
you know, Microsoft co-pilot help. And there might be times that you need to step back and maybe let
co-pilot almost pilot. Can you talk a little bit about that, even your personal experience so far
and how that's been because that changes how we work, right? Because it's always been human in control.
And I mean, what's that been like so far? Yeah. And candidly, once you have access to the tools and everyone
has access to them, it's almost like it's an immediate lift and of what we're doing. And I had shared
with you a little bit of my background where I co-founded an air charter business with my husband.
He runs that now in an aircraft maintenance business.
So I've been around private aviation and corporate aviation.
And so I love the term co-pilot.
So the way I like to say it is sometimes, you know, the pilots in charge, sometimes the co-pilots
in charge.
And then sometimes there's autopilot.
So what I would like to, you know, the good analogy is if I'm.
not in a meeting, even though it's technically co-pilot, taking the meeting notes is like
autopilot. So there are things that are automatically happening through our AI technology that are
there. Then, you know, the co-pilot will summarize things. And then what's really cool like in teams,
it will prompt you, it's not just, hey, here are the notes. You can ask for insights in the notes.
You can say, and I do this with my learning, I use this with chat, GPT and others, what actions could I take on this?
What actions could I take as a leader?
What actions could my team take?
And even with these generic questions, I'm just blown away with like the answers.
And so, you know, sometimes we're, you know, prompting.
Sometimes, you know, the co-pilot is prompting.
And then like I said, sometimes it's autopilot.
but you know when you're, you know, you need to take your, who needs to take whose role.
And great, timely, timely observations there, Carol, because I was just going to bring up this
question from Douglas. So Douglas, thank you for joining because, you know, one thing, if you're not
familiar with Microsoft copilot is it lives in the apps that you already use, right?
So your Outlook email, your Excel, your, you know, Word docs and teams and everything in between.
So in this situation like Douglas is talking about, you know, how does Microsoft copilot handle this?
If there's, you know, if you have an email about something, if there's a spreadsheet about something, if there's a team's meeting about something, is it able to not repeat and just say, hey, across all of your different apps, if you're asking about, you know, Project B, here is everything you need to know, regardless of where it came from.
Yeah. So what is exciting about the features is, and too, because a lot of people want to know, like, is this,
data accurate, where did it come from?
And so it will look across those different applications and it will give you answers.
And then just like a footnote, like say, you know, say something comes from three applications.
I had this happen the other day for a team's meeting because there was an Excel file and a
PowerPoint file attached.
So it had just a little footnote with links.
Link number one was the meeting.
link number two was the PowerPoint and link number three was the Excel.
So what's exciting is you not only get the value of the conversation and the data in that,
but then if you want to go to the source file and say,
hey, I need to look at that, then you can definitely do that.
And I see also someone's asking, how does it handle the overlapping?
So it's amazing.
I mean, I've never checked to see if it's 100% the way people set things,
but it will have on there who said what and when.
And it's pretty good at, you know, capturing who said what.
One other thing, and I don't, it's like a co-pilot.
Maybe it's not part of the studio, but it's built into PowerPoint.
Is the speaker coach.
So as a speaker, there's AI that as you're speaking,
it can tell you how many filler words you use, how much you talked.
I have, you know, started using it.
and some others, it's like, oh, I'm really talking a lot. Or, oh, I'm trying to facilitate others to be
included and, you know, this is not happening. So there's just all kinds of applications.
Oh, I could use that on the podcast sometimes, Cheryl, I think, because sometimes I'm like,
wait, did I just talk for four minutes straight and not give the guest the chance to time in here?
So I need that. So we've talked a lot, Carol, about learning. But what about leadership? How can,
especially when you're using something like Microsoft Copilot and it's tuned in to everything that you have going on in your day to day because as a leader, you have to make tough decisions. You have to have tough conversations.
How can Gen AI and Microsoft Copilot help develop your leadership and maybe help you even make better leadership decisions?
Right. So I would say just kind of at the most foundational level with Copilot, it's just an ability to keep.
up like as a leader and to know what's going on. And then if you have a question, you're not
digging for an email, you can go in and say, hey, you know, you're thinking about something.
It's like, give me all of the content, you know, related to this person and the emails and
and that. And it will immediately aggregate that for you. So I think there's keeping up.
The other is it is forcing me to think differently and see like, how can I show up better as a leader?
So I will give a quick example.
So you can, I've actually used it to help me write employee reviews.
So this time around I thought, oh, I'm going to use co-pilot, you know, because I'm going to be the example.
So I started to use them and I got some really good ideas.
but I decided that it was so personal that I actually wrote everything myself.
And so I told my team, it's like I wrote, you know, I compiled it didn't write your reviews.
And not that there would be an issue with that, you know, and using it as a companion.
I did use it for some inspiration.
But I, you know, I decided as a leader that this was a time when I really wanted it to be my own voice.
And then just with learning, I feel like it's.
important. People ask me all the time, how do you keep up with AI and how do you do all this?
And it's all my own training and motivation. Yes, now I get some co-pilot training, but I'm already a
power user of Gen AI. But as a leader, it was really, one, I think you show leadership by being
curious and having a growth mindset. And given my role at Microsoft and all of this coming out and also
up an AI being our customer. As a leader, I thought, well, I want to be able to lead on this.
And so I just used it to learn. I use it to summarize articles. I use it for ideas. And everybody
knows that they're going to get some cheesy graphic from me, you know, that I'm constantly
creating memes and graphics and things. But the key thing as a leader for credibility is it's one
thing to talk about it, it's another thing to use it. So I would say primarily helping me as a leader
is, especially since I'm in this space. But no matter what your field is, you know, using it and
showing your growth, showing your, you know, how you're being curious and learning. And there's
really no excuse for anyone not to use it because, I mean, so much of this is, is even Microsoft
co-pilot being designer and image creator are free.
You know, what you just described, Carol, and throughout the course of this conversation,
one thing kept popping into my head because I've experienced this.
I'm in different generative AI tools literally all day, chat TVT, many hours in my day.
I sometimes almost feel fatigued, right?
Because learning is so easy.
And, you know, where it used to take a couple of hours to tackle a concept, I can now do
in a couple of minutes.
What are the business challenges, especially when it comes to, you know, learning and leadership?
What are the big business challenges that you see, whether it's from using, you know, Microsoft co-pilot or just other generative AI systems?
You know, because I do think this is going to change the way that we work.
What are challenges that you think that we may, you know, run into?
Yeah.
So I do want to briefly talk about the skilling challenge.
And I think from the challenge of adoption,
one of the things that I talk about
because I'm also an AI speaker champ,
so I talk to different customers and things about, you know,
what we're doing and others and what I have seen.
And I saw this starting with cloud adoption and now
is I don't think people understand the pace of change.
I think the biggest challenge is people not moving fast enough,
thinking, and again, you know,
Some people could think, oh my gosh, this is so much to learn.
But now you can think differently, right?
If you need to keep up with AI, not even AI.
Say you're trying to keep up with financial regulations and banking globally.
You know, you have to think differently and use Gen.
AI to consume a lot of information.
And then there's definitely the upskilling, pardon me.
There's definitely the upskilling of employees.
and I really think that credibility is going to come from the top down.
I'm seeing a lot of leaders like get training on AI and things like that.
And it's not just here's how to use it.
It's the use cases because we're already seeing transformation and customer service
in sales and software development being able to code faster and knowledge workers.
And like it's it's everywhere.
And so I think those that.
really kind of embrace it and figure it out and ask the questions are going to be in a good
spot. But I do think from a business perspective, companies that are not taking this seriously
are going to be left behind, especially those, whether a small or larger business, the ability
to differentiate yourself, your company, and your brand with AI, like it's unlimited. And so those
that take, I mean, you can teach yourself. There's free stuff out there. I just think that
pace of change is going so fast. And sometimes I'm really surprised to not see faster use or
adoption places. You know, Carol, we've talked a little bit about everything in this episode.
We've covered so much. You know, we've talked about how, you know, co-pilot and AI in general can
can help us learn better and to learn more effectively, how it can assist in our leadership.
But maybe what's, you know, as we wrap here, maybe what's that one takeaway that you really
want people, you know, because we have a lot of business leaders listening to this podcast.
And they may or may not right now have access to Microsoft co-pilot.
So what's that one piece of advice, you know, just generative AI in general that you have
for business leaders to say, hey, here's how you can specifically grow your learning and your
leadership. So I would say it's everybody's personal responsibility for their personal growth,
their career growth, and their business growth, especially in this place. It doesn't matter if you
have access to the actual enterprise version of 365. Our Bing co-pilot, designer, image creator,
chat GPT, it's all available. And so I would say that one thing is take personal responsibility
and use it. You can't break it. Take some of the learnings here, do some of the research. You know,
you and I learned it on our own. It's not like when it was unleashed, all these courses were there.
You know, I started with writing silly poems for my family. And one of my daughters actually said one
time, she asked me something. She goes, can you please not use chat GPT to answer the question?
But, you know, and then use it every day, you know, and also take time to be on LinkedIn or other places and read about it.
But, you know, I've always felt this way, but it's that personal responsibility, you know, go rewrite your LinkedIn profile.
Go get an article and, you know, write a workshop with it.
And literally you can do it in 10 minutes.
And so take action.
Don't wait.
I love that. That's what Everyday AI is all about practical and actionable tips on how we can all actually use this.
