Microsoft Copilot 365 or Other Gen AI Licensing

Aaron Moss made this Official Information request to Ministry for the Environment

The request was successful.

From: Aaron Moss

Dear Ministerial Services at the Ministry for the Environment,

Does the Ministry have any active Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses?
If so, how many, and what is the total cost of this licensing?

If not, does the Ministry license any competing generative artifical intelligence (Gen AI) or large language model (LLM) services?

Thank you for your assistance with this request.

Ngā mihi,
Aaron Moss
