OpenAI says the new AI model reflects its commitment to helping the US government use its technologies. 

How governments use AI

It also notes more than 3,500 US federal, state and local government agencies have been using ChatGPT since 2024.

Here are some examples:

As mentioned, ChatGPT Gov will likely be the US government’s latest AI tool.

National governments outside the United States have also been using ChatGPT to improve public services.

For example, Japan’s Yokosuka City uses a “siloed” version of ChatGPT to enhance operations and reduce business hours. 

Being “siloed” means the Japanese government uses a dedicated data center to operate the AI bot, ensuring cybersecurity. 

Meanwhile, the Chinese government hails its latest DeepSeek AI as a triumph in artificial intelligence innovation.

Chinese researchers have developed the tool with a significantly lower budget than their US counterparts.

It’s an open-source program that can run without the Internet. Yet, it can match and even outperform paid models from Western AI firms.

As a result, DeepSeek has been shaking up US markets and the global AI industry.

The Philippine government has also been implementing AI tools. 

It has many pending AI regulations that will reduce potential risks.
