OpenAI tailors version of ChatGPT for US government | Arab News PK
OpenAI has unveiled a customized version of its ChatGPT artificial intelligence tool specifically designed for use by the United States government. With big government contracts being a key focus for tech companies, OpenAI has already seen around 90,000 users of ChatGPT from federal, state, and local government agencies in the US.
The new iteration, ChatGPT Gov, caters to the unique needs of US government entities and their personnel, offering a personalized AI solution. OpenAI expressed its commitment to ensuring that AI technology serves the national interest and upholds democratic values, stating that the tool aims to enhance services provided to the American people.
While the cost of ChatGPT Gov remains undisclosed, the platform is an extension of the enterprise version of the chatbot, originally intended for businesses. The government version is compatible with Microsoft's cloud computing platform, providing agencies with the option to self-host the tool for better management of security, privacy, and compliance requirements.
Empowering Government Agencies
OpenAI believes that ChatGPT Gov will streamline the authorization process for the use of AI tools in handling sensitive non-public data within government departments. This move comes in the wake of US President Donald Trump's announcement of a significant investment in AI infrastructure, a project called Stargate, during his initial days in office.
Crackdown on Online Scams
Elsewhere, Philippine authorities recently apprehended approximately 100 individuals in Manila suspected of operating an online scam farm. The crackdown, led by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission and the National Bureau of Investigation, targeted a lending agency accused of extorting victims through fraudulent loan schemes.
Victims were allegedly lured through social media platforms like TikTok, offering loans with exorbitant interest rates. The perpetrators resorted to harassing and threatening borrowers who failed to make timely payments, leading to severe psychological distress and, in some cases, tragic outcomes.
Expanding Media Partnerships
Warner Bros. Discovery and Evision recently expanded their collaboration, granting users access to additional channels on Evision's streaming platform. New offerings include popular channels like Fatafeat, Discovery Channel, TLC, HGTV, and more, catering to diverse audience preferences.
The partnership signals a commitment to delivering high-quality content to viewers in the region, with a particular focus on engaging younger audiences through a dedicated kids' FAST channel. The rise of ad-supported streaming services reflects evolving viewer habits and preferences, providing a broader access to premium content.
As the media landscape continues to evolve, industry players are adapting to meet changing consumer needs and preferences. Streaming platforms are witnessing a surge in popularity, with innovative content formats and cross-platform accessibility shaping the future of digital media consumption.
