GitHub Copilot is a Microsoft AI tool integrated into the coding environments used by developers and data specialists at the Public Service Commission of Canada. It helps them write software faster by generating code suggestions, reviewing code quality, and providing guidance during application development. As of mid-2025, it has been deployed to a limited number of staff on a pilot basis to evaluate its value relative to its cost. No personal information about members of the public is processed by this system.
