TechFlow news, according to CNBC, OpenAI announced on Tuesday its largest product launch since the company's inception. The product, named ChatGPT Gov, is specifically designed for use by the U.S. government.
The Microsoft-backed company positions this new platform as a significant advancement in security over ChatGPT Enterprise. OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil told reporters during a briefing on Monday that it allows government agencies, as customers, to run operations within their own secure hosted environments and input "non-public sensitive information" into OpenAI's models.
OpenAI said that since early 2024, more than 90,000 employees across federal, state, and local governments have generated over 18 million prompts on ChatGPT, using the technology to translate and summarize documents, write and draft policy memos, generate code, and build applications.
The user interface of ChatGPT Gov is similar to that of ChatGPT Enterprise. The main difference is that government agencies will use ChatGPT Gov within their own Microsoft Azure Commercial Cloud or Azure Government Community Cloud, Felipe Millon, OpenAI’s head of federal sales and marketing, said during the press conference, enabling them to "manage their own security, privacy, and compliance requirements."
