CHRISTOPH SIEGER: Bayer has constantly
evolved and changed.
It's really science for a better life.
We have a very ambitious mission statement,
Health for all and hunger for man.
We have a crop science business,
we have a consumer health business,
and we have a pharmaceuticals business.
Every single day we are helping farmers on the field,
we're helping to cure diseases,
and we're helping our consumers get healthier.
We really want to be at the forefront of innovation.
That's the reason why we are trying out new technologies.
SARAH LEWANDOWSKI: Some of
the biggest benefits we
have with leveraging tools such as
micro copilot is that it makes us
more agile in really finding the right information.
We actually experience that
the employees can get to their information faster.
In our journey of generative AI,
we have over 700 use cases across
all divisions and functions
so we really see a big impact.
CHRISTOPH SIEGER: We can already
see that there are benefits.
Number 1, productivity.
Our employees are more productive,
answering in e-mail, reviewing documents.
Number 2, collaboration.
It's super easy to sort results and to
work collaboratively together and Number 3,
creativity Copilot [inaudible] suggestions.
Last week I received an e-mail with five attachments,
20-50 pages each,
then I asked Copilot give me a summary,
and the summary saved me 45 minutes.
FLORIAN HAESE: In my everyday work,
I'm trying to stay
connected with all the other researchers.
Knowing who knows what at which point in time,
that is quite a challenge and just having a tool to help
me find the information that I
need is incredibly helpful.
Model store integrated into
Microsoft teams definitely helped to
bridge some of these communication gaps
between lab researchers and data scientists.
Copilot takes over the task of finding
the models that you could use and get the expert opinion.
SARAH LEWANDOWSKI: We're also
experimenting with Github,
Copilot with our developers.
They are really thrilled of having
ideas in how to create the right code.
It also increases the speed
of knowledge in a new language.
FLORIAN HAESE: We are
changing our employees perspective.
We are seeing a lot of curiosity,
and with that we will
help them to get more productive every day.
Microsoft Copilots gives our employees more power,
more freedom to focus on our mission,
health for all and hunger for man.
CHRISTOPH SIEGER: We really see that
people engage more and
more understanding the impact
on what Copilot can actually do.
Overall this big motivation and enthusiasm at Bayer.
