OpenAI unveils ChatGPT Gov for US government agencies
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Gov, a specialised AI platform for U.S. government agencies.
Built for secure use, it allows agencies to input sensitive, non-public data while maintaining security in their hosting environments.
The platform, based on ChatGPT Enterprise, operates on Microsoft Azure’s government cloud to meet privacy and compliance needs.
It is designed for tasks like drafting policies, summarising documents, coding, and application development.
OpenAI acknowledges concerns around AI’s risks, such as data privacy and bias.
The company has assured ChatGPT Gov complies with strict usage policies.
It also says the program will benefit agencies handling sensitive data such as defense and health care.
OpenAI leaders emphasise the urgency of maintaining U.S. leadership in AI amid global competition, particularly with rivals like China’s DeepSeek.
CEO Sam Altman also signaled support for President Donald Trump’s administration, stirring debate about tech regulation and industry ties.
