Dear Ministry of Defence,

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
