OpenAI tailors version of ChatGPT for US government | Billings News
ChatGPT Gov, designed for use by the United States government, is a bespoke version of the artificial intelligence tool by OpenAI. This new version builds on an 'enterprise' iteration of the AI tool that is commonly used by businesses.
OpenAI recently launched ChatGPT Gov to cater specifically to the needs of the US government. With numerous tech firms vying for big money government contracts, OpenAI has already garnered a user base of around 90,000 across federal, state, and local government agencies.
Customized AI Tool for Government Agencies
The ChatGPT Gov version of OpenAI's chatbot is tailored to assist US government agencies and their employees in their daily tasks. By providing AI solutions to the government, OpenAI aims to ensure that artificial intelligence serves the national interest and upholds democratic values while enhancing public services for American citizens.
The exact cost of ChatGPT Gov has not been disclosed by OpenAI. This specialized version extends the capabilities of the enterprise chatbot, enabling it to operate on Microsoft's cloud computing platform. Agencies can also opt to self-host ChatGPT Gov, allowing them greater control over security, privacy, and compliance.
Empowering Government with AI
OpenAI's initiative is expected to expedite the authorization process for government agencies to utilize AI tools for handling sensitive non-public data. This move aligns with the company's vision of empowering policymakers to leverage AI responsibly for the betterment of public services.
During his initial days in office, former US President Donald Trump announced a significant investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure in collaboration with SoftBank and OpenAI. The venture, known as Stargate, aimed to invest approximately $500 billion in AI infrastructure within the United States.
