Our take
Hi Dotikers!
Capitol Hill is moving from experimenting in PowerPoint to testing AI in real conditions. The House of Representatives is launching a pilot with Microsoft Copilot for email, OneDrive, and the M365 suite, with up to 6,000 licenses over a year and a gradual rollout following technical tests that began in June. The announcement was made at the Congressional Hackathon, co-hosted by Mike Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries. This move puts AI at the core of parliamentary operations, going well beyond a simple productivity gadget.
It’s a pragmatic shift after the 2024 ban, which was motivated by data leak concerns. The framework has since matured: Copilot comes with stronger legal and data protections, and the US administration now requires robust AI governance, including Chief AI Officers and inventories of high-risk use cases. In short, it’s a shift from fear to verification.
The House says it is also evaluating other options ; from ChatGPT Enterprise to Claude, Gemini, and more ; and is even considering $1-per-seat offers from several vendors. A sensible idea, as long as evaluation criteria, connector security, and data portability take precedence over marketing.
