Microsoft AI chief walks back comments about AI taking over white collar work

Sending an email, having a conversation with a colleague, putting together a PowerPoint – subtasks will become increasingly digital and automated, and we can essentially create more and more of them. This does not necessarily mean that the role will disappear at all. It just means that work can be done faster and more efficiently, work today that is often quite routine, completely manual, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. So the natural evolution of technology is to make your life easier, faster, less frictionless, and more seamless.
