OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT Gov: Tailored AI Chatbot For US Government Agencies
In Brief
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Gov—a specialized version of ChatGPT designed to enhance government agencies’ access to OpenAI’s advanced AI models.
Artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Gov—a specialized version of ChatGPT designed to enhance government agencies’ access to OpenAI’s advanced AI models.
Government agencies have the option to deploy ChatGPT Gov within their Microsoft Azure commercial cloud or Azure Government cloud using Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. Hosting ChatGPT Gov independently allows agencies to maintain greater control over security, privacy, and regulatory compliance, ensuring alignment with stringent cybersecurity standards such as IL5, CJIS, ITAR, and FedRAMP High. Furthermore, this infrastructure is expected to facilitate the internal approval process for utilizing OpenAI’s tools in managing sensitive, non-public data. Similar to other OpenAI services, the use of ChatGPT Gov remains subject to OpenAI’s usage policies.
ChatGPT Gov offers many of the same features and functionalities as ChatGPT Enterprise. These include the ability to save and share conversations within a secure government workspace, upload text and image files, and leverage GPT-4o—OpenAI’s premier model known for its proficiency in text analysis, summarization, coding, image interpretation, and mathematics. Additionally, government employees can create and distribute Custom GPTs within their workspace. The platform also includes an administrative console designed for CIOs and IT teams, enabling them to oversee user management, group access, Custom GPTs, single sign-on (SSO), and other operational aspects.
How Government Agencies Are Using ChatGPT Today
According to OpenAI, since 2024, more than 90,000 users across over 3,500 federal, state, and local government agencies in the United States have exchanged more than 18 million messages on ChatGPT to assist with their daily operations.
For example, the Air Force Research Laboratory is utilizing ChatGPT Enterprise for administrative purposes, such as improving access to internal resources, assisting with basic coding tasks, and supporting AI education initiatives. Meanwhile, Los Alamos National Laboratory is leveraging ChatGPT Enterprise to facilitate scientific research and innovation. Additionally, the laboratory’s Bioscience Division is conducting an evaluation study to determine how advanced AI models like GPT-4o can be safely integrated into laboratory environments to support bioscientific research.
At the state level, the State of Minnesota’s Enterprise Translations Office is using ChatGPT Team to enhance translation services for multilingual communities. This implementation has resulted in faster, more accurate translations while lowering costs and turnaround times. Similarly, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has launched a pioneering AI pilot program, where employees found that ChatGPT Enterprise reduced time spent on routine tasks—such as analyzing project requirements—by an estimated 105 minutes per workday on the days they utilized the tool. These examples highlight the practical benefits of AI adoption in government operations, improving efficiency and accessibility across various sectors.
OpenAI is committed to the ongoing research and development of artificial general intelligence (AGI)—a type of AI capable of understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across a wide range of tasks in a way that resembles human cognitive abilities. The organization has gained recognition for its advancements in generative AI, particularly through its widely used chatbot, ChatGPT.
Recently, OpenAI announced that its Board of Directors is evaluating the company’s corporate structure. This assessment aims to ensure that the organization remains aligned with its core mission: developing AGI in a way that maximizes benefits for humanity.
