AI has swiftly taken over much of the economy, and now, it appears to be invading our nation’s hallowed halls of power. Axios reports that Microsoft’s AI chatbot, Copilot, will be made available to staff in the House of Representatives, where lawmakers will use it to…well, that part isn’t exactly clear yet.

The House will soon begin using M365 Copilot as part of a broader effort to integrate AI “into its daily operations,” Axios says. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is expected to announce the rollout of the chatbots for staff at an upcoming Congressional Hackathon, the outlet notes.

My first thought is they'll use chatbots to reply to constituent e-mails and phone calls, so they don't have to waste time communicating with the people they purportedly represent and can spend more time taking bribes from lobbyists.

Which will undoubtedly lead to hilarity when someone calls their Congresscritter about trans rights or Palestine and the chatbot goes full Grok.
