ISLAMABAD: OpenAI on Wednesday said it was letting the US government use a version of ChatGPT designed for businesses for a year, charging just $1 for the service.
AFP reported that federal workers in the executive branch will have access to ChatGPT Enterprise in a partnership with the US General Services Administration.
“By giving government employees access to powerful, secure AI tools, we can help them solve problems for more people, faster,” AFP cited OpenAI as saying.
ChatGPT Enterprise does not use business data to train or improve OpenAI models and the same rule will apply to federal use, the company said.
Earlier this year, OpenAI announced an initiative focused on bringing advanced AI tools to US government workers.
$200 million contract
The news came with word that the US Department of Defense awarded OpenAI a $200 million contract to put generative AI to work for the military, according to AFP.
OpenAI planned to show how cutting-edge AI can improve administrative operations, such as how service members get health care, and also has cyber defense applications, the startup said in a post.
OpenAI has also launched an initiative to help countries build their own AI infrastructure, with the US government a partner in projects, AFP reported.
