Will ChatGPT 'invade' public agencies in the US?

Users of Microsoft's Azure Government service can now access artificial intelligence (AI) models from OpenAI, including the latest version of GPT-4.

Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's AI into its Edge browser and Bing search engine.

On June 7, Microsoft announced that Azure Government customers now have access to two of OpenAI’s major language models: GPT-4 and its predecessor, GPT-3. The software giant did not name specific US agencies that are expected to use these AI applications, but the Department of Defense , Department of Energy, and NASA are among the government customers.

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), a U.S. Department of Defense agency responsible for collecting and sharing military research, will test Microsoft's new product, a DTIC official confirmed.

Microsoft has previously offered AI models to commercial customers through its fast-growing Azure OpenAI service. By May, the Windows maker said it had 4,500 customers using the service, up from 2,500 the previous quarter, including Volvo AB, Ikea, Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Shell Plc. The initiative announced on June 7 is the first known effort by a major company to broadly offer chatbot technology to the U.S. government.

Federal, state, and local government agencies can use GPT 4 and 3 to perform tasks such as generating answers to research questions, generating computer code, and summarizing field reports. However, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that Azure Government users will not have specific access to ChatGPT.

Additionally, user data submitted to the network will remain in a private network compared to the commercial version storage space and will not be used to train future AI models.
