U.S. House of Representatives Bans Use of Microsoft’s AI Copilot

Daniel Kim Views  

Reuters reported on the 30th (local time) that the U.S. House of Representatives has strictly prohibited congressional staff from using Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant.

Catherine Szpindor, the chief administrative officer of the U.S. House of Representatives, said, “The Microsoft Copilot application has been deemed dangerous by the Cyber Security Bureau due to the threat of leaking House data to cloud services not approved by the House.”

In response, a Microsoft spokesperson told Reuters, “We recognize that government users have higher data security requirements. Accordingly, we have announced the roadmap for Microsoft AI tools like Copilot, which meet the security and regulatory requirements of the federal government, and plan to deliver this in the latter half of this year.”

Policymakers have been reviewing the appropriateness of safety measures to protect potential risks, individuals’ privacy, and fair treatment with the introduction of AI in federal agencies.

Last year, two senators from both the Democratic and Republican parties proposed a bill to ban the use of AI in political advertisements that falsely depicted candidates to influence federal elections.

On the other hand, the administrative officer of the U.S. House of Representatives did not respond to Reuters’ request for confirmation.
