US House bans Microsoft's Copilot AI chatbot for congressional staff due to data security concerns.

The US House of Representatives has banned the use of Microsoft's Copilot AI chatbot for congressional staffers due to data security concerns over potential data leaks to non-approved cloud services. The Office of Cybersecurity considers the Microsoft Copilot application a risk to users. Microsoft plans to release a roadmap of AI tools meeting federal government security and compliance requirements later this year.
