BP is rolling out the generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool Copilot for Microsoft 365 across a substantial part of its workforce in early 2024.
The operator announced on Nov. 15 it would be one of the first companies globally to act as a launch partner for Copilot, billed as an intelligent AI assistant.
The cloud-based service integrates with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and uses AI and natural language processing to automate a variety of daily tasks, such as writing emails and managing inboxes.
BP expects the use of Copilot to help employees boost productivity and upskill, enhance business performance and support innovation. Additionally, BP may offer insights that may help shape the future functionality of the product.
In a press release, Leigh-Ann Russell, BP’s executive vice president of innovation and engineering, said the Copilot collaboration is a significant step in the company’s digital transformation.
“Leveraging the latest developments in AI-powered workplace solutions offers the opportunity for BP to transform how works get done. Our ambition is to empower our people to spend more time on innovation and the problem-solving that will help make the energy transition a success,” she said.
In 2020, BP and Microsoft announced a strategic partnership for the operator’s digital transformation.
