Overview

• ChatGPT Gov is a specialized version of ChatGPT designed for U.S. government agencies, offering enhanced security and compliance features tailored to sensitive data management.
• The tool allows agencies to self-host the platform within Microsoft Azure's commercial or government cloud environments, enabling greater control over security and privacy standards.
• OpenAI has highlighted potential applications for ChatGPT Gov, including document analysis, policy drafting, translation services, and administrative efficiency improvements.
• The launch comes as OpenAI seeks to solidify its position in the AI market amidst rising competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek, which has recently gained traction with a low-cost AI model.
• While ChatGPT Gov builds on existing ChatGPT Enterprise features, it has not yet received full federal accreditation for handling non-public sensitive data under FedRAMP guidelines.
