The U.S. House of Representatives plans to begin using Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Copilot in an effort to integrate artificial intelligence into its daily operations, according to Axios.
House members and staffers will have the ability to utilize Copilot, an AI-powered chatbot, to enhance the legislative process, according to the report. A limited number of staff in each office will receive Copilot, which will have “heightened legal and data protections.”
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is set to discuss the development today along with Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (R-N.Y.).
“Fortunately, from the outset, the House has been tracking developments with AI closely and has prepared to deploy this technology,” Johnson said, according to the report. “AI tools don’t just make us faster or smarter. They unlock extraordinary savings for the government and add to Congress’ capacity to better serve the American people.”
The House is also exploring the use of other AI products as well, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s (GOOG)(GOOGL) Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude.
