Sweden’s Government Offices block ChatGPT and Claude
Starting Monday, staff at the Swedish Government Offices can’t reach ChatGPT or Claude from their work computers, Swedish Radio’s Ekot reports. The office wants employees on approved tools such as Microsoft Copilot, and internal information Ekot has seen shows it also tightened Copilot’s security after a review.
Digitalization director Mikael Wettercrantz declined an interview but wrote on the intranet that using AI services without an agreement could have “consequences for our information security.” The Swedish Tax Agency and the National Board of Institutional Care have blocked them too, and the Enforcement Authority is weighing the question.
Some staff will keep using an AI assistant platform the Government Offices built in-house, which gives access to ChatGPT and Claude.
