Williams wrote last year for Business Insider.<\/p>\n<p>For Gates, each meeting contains a lot of material to digest after the fact \u2014 a task he says AI is well suited to assist with.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#8217;d say the feature I use the most is the meeting summary, which is integrated into [Microsoft] Teams, which I use a lot,&quot; he said in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24235730\/bill-gates-ai-climate-change-energy-tech-microsoft-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Verge<\/a>. &quot;The ability to interact and not just get the summary, but ask questions about the meeting, is pretty fantastic.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The tool Gates is referring to is Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot, powered by the company&#8217;s partnership with OpenAI and available as an add-on feature for several Microsoft 365 office apps.<\/p>\n<p>Copilot allows users to &quot;find and use info that&#8217;s buried in documents or lost in conversations, and get things done in whole new ways using the power of AI,&quot; the company says.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Microsoft&#8217;s offering is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/blog\/best-ai-meeting-assistant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several<\/a> AI tools that are popping up to help office workers spend less time dealing with meetings.<\/p>\n<p>And Gates is not alone in using machine learning to lighten his workload: a survey by Hubspot last year found workers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/ai-saving-sales-teams-hours-work-daily-survey-says-2024-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using AI tools to save up to two hours per day<\/a> on tasks like scheduling meetings, note-taking, and data entry.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, Copilot users have said the tool enables them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/microsoft-generative-ai-tool-copilot-can-help-attend-fewer-meetings-2024-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skip meetings altogether<\/a> in favor of catching up on the AI recap.<\/p>\n<p>As one of AI&#8217;s most vocal supporters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/bill-gates-ai-limitations-data-needed-solve-human-problems-2024-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gates is clear-eyed about the technology&#8217;s limitations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If it&#8217;s a problem that humans are not good at dealing with, then present techniques don&#8217;t create some novel approach,&quot; he said in another interview earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In short, current AI models <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/ai-tackling-jobs-humans-dont-have-time-for-or-want-2024-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are just a lot faster<\/a> at performing well-defined tasks that humans currently do, albeit more slowly, like transcribing and summarizing meeting notes.<\/p>\n<p>And while smarter meetings might not be the most exciting use-case imaginable for AI, the potential savings are significant.<\/p>\n<p>A survey from <a href=\"http:\/\/Reclaim.ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reclaim.ai<\/a> found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/workers-spending-less-time-in-meetings-productivity-2024-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employees spend more than a third of their work hours in meetings<\/a>, which based on the average pay in the US, represents roughly about $29,000 per worker each year.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s money (and time) that, in some cases, could probably be much better spent.<\/p>\n<div>Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/bill-gates-uses-ai-meeting-summaries-notes-copilot-teams-2024-9\">Business Insider<\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nFuente: https:\/\/ift.tt\/e2GvAlW<br \/>\nPublicado: September 5, 2024 at 11:27AM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could this meeting be an email?
