GitHub Copilot is an AI coding assistant being piloted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to help government software developers write code more efficiently. The tool suggests code completions and generates code snippets based on developer input. It is used exclusively by Government of Canada employees and does not involve personal information. This pilot is in development and is intended to evaluate whether AI-assisted coding provides operational value to the department.
