In addition, over the past two years, GitHub Copilot has become the most widely adopted AI developer tool, with 1.8 million paid subscribers. And just a day ago, we introduced a new category of Copilot+ PCs, the fastest, most AI-ready PCs ever built. We are the industry leader in AI, and that’s why, as we begin our flagship...

The pace and intensity of work, which accelerated during the pandemic, has not eased, so employees are bringing their own AI to work.
