Microsoft says its Copilot artificial intelligence assistant cannot only increase productivity, but can boost diversity and inclusion in workplaces, with Australia Post and engineering firm GHD reaping the benefits.GHD chief technology officer Andrew Kaddatz said the benefits of the technology were not confined to just accessibility. “It’s obviously much more than that, but we also don’t want to pigeonhole it,” he said. “The accessibility benefits are coming from two things: obviously the capabilities in the tool, but also the freedom that people have been allowed to experiment with the tool, so using it in each person’s own individual way.”
