Open AI releases ChatGPT Gov for U.S. Government Agencies
This week, Open AI released ChatGPT Gov, a version of ChatGPT tailored for U.S. government agencies to access OpenAI’s frontier models while utilizing internal safety protocols.
The rapid uptake of artificial intelligence across the economy has already shown massive increases in productivity. According to an analysis by Goldman Sachs, some firms utilizing AI are seeing a 25 percent increase in productivity on average.
Broadly applying AI in our government has the potential to reduce costs, streamline services, and save billions of taxpayer dollars. The House Budget Committee continues to investigate new cutting-edge technologies that can effectively curtail waste, fraud, and abuse of government resources.
Word on the Street:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Task Force Chair Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.):
"AI tools like ChatGPT Gov have the potential to streamline operations across the federal government, making government more efficient, cost-effective, and responsive to the needs of the American people. By reducing administrative burdens and improving access to information, these tools can help federal employees deliver higher-quality services while maximizing taxpayer resources."
Last week, President Trump signed an Executive Order to remove barriers to American leadership in AI and highlighted a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to AI by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank.
The Bottom Line:
In recent years, America has led incredible development and adoption of AI across industries. Technological advancement can enhance the efficiency and efficacy of the federal government, allowing it to better serve the American people. The U.S. House Budget Committee is leading the charge in assessing all technological innovations that can reduce the deficit and improve fiscal stability.
Last month, the House Budget Committee commissioned the first-ever Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report on AI to shed light on the true economic potential of AI and provide critical insights into how this technology will shape our economy.
Prior to the report, the Committee held a roundtable, “The Age of Artificial Intelligence: Implications for the U.S. Economy and Government” with Andrew McAfee, a principal research scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Jason Payne, Chief Technology Officer for Microsoft Federal, to engage with members on how AI can affect the economy and improve government efficiency.
