The US House of Representatives has set a strict ban on congressional staffers’ use of Microsoft’s\u00a0Copilot generative AI assistant, Axios reported on Friday.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we announced a roadmap of Microsoft AI tools, like Copilot, that meet federal government security and compliance requirements that we intend to deliver later this year,\u201d a Microsoft spokesperson told Reuters.<\/p>\n
