The internet is flooded with low-value, low-quality content as a result of the explosion of generative AI - and now we see the same happening in a professional context, with the rise of "work slop".

AI slop in a work context is harmful - rather than boosting enterprise productivity, it shifts the onus for quality checking and correcting to the recipient. Research also finds that people who create and share work slop are evaluated as lazier, less competent, less diligent and less trustworthy.

In this session, we will explore:
- Research on work slop explaining what it is and why it can be so damaging
- Strategies for overcoming the rise of work slop at an enterprise level, to allow AI ROI to move from individual to group-based productivity gains
- Practical guidance on how to leverage AI to improve your own productivity, but in a way that allows your work to be authentically human

This session will include practical demos leveraging Copilot tools across the Microsoft ecosystem, including Microsoft 365 Copilot and Cowork.
