In progressCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

City departments experimented with AI separately, creating inconsistent safeguards and duplicated effort.

Approach

The Department of Technology launched Copilot Chat citywide in July 2025. It paired access with responsible-AI training and updated usage guidelines.

Results

30,000employees given Copilot Chat access, reported by the cityCompany's own claim[1]
4,000+staff trained in responsible AI, reported by the cityCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The rollout established broad access and training; it did not establish how many employees regularly used the tool.
