Copilot saved UK public servants less time than in Australia


UK public servants saved an average of 26 minutes each day using Microsoft’s generative AI tool during a large-scale trial last year – less than half the time Australians did during a similar Copilot trial.

The trial, which took place in the last three months of 2024, involved 20,000 public servants across 12 departments and agencies, including His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs and the Home Office.

It was designed to understand the value of the tool, which is capable of automating tasks and creating content with Microsoft applications, when deployed across a large portion of the UK government.
