Summary:

• **What is AI Automation?** Microsoft's AI leader says that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be able to do many jobs that people do in offices, like writing emails, organizing files, and answering questions. Within about a year and a half, computers might be smart enough to handle a lot of these tasks that people do every day.

• **Why Does This Matter?** This means that many people who work in offices might need to learn new skills or find different kinds of jobs in the future. It's like how calculators changed math jobs—technology keeps changing what kinds of work people do, so it's important to keep learning new things.
