Sweden's Government Offices Cut Off ChatGPT and Claude for Staff
Swedish government offices to ban ChatGPT and Claude
Starting Monday, employees at Sweden's Government Offices can no longer reach ChatGPT or Claude from their work computers. The block is meant to push staff toward approved tools, including Microsoft's Copilot, whose security was tightened after a review. The Tax Agency and the state youth-institutions board Sis have imposed similar blocks, and the Swedish Enforcement Authority is weighing one. Some staff keep access through an in-house AI-assistant platform.
We have seen several examples of problematic use of open AI services. The examples concern both the sensitivity of the information fed in and how the AI-generated answers were handled.
