US Government questions Microsoft's AI, restricts Copilot on state-provided computers
Microsoft's AI dreams received a significant setback as the US government prohibits the use of Copilot AI on all computers given to US Congressional staff, thereby preventing them from utilizing the service. This prohibition follows apprehensions expressed by the Cybersecurity Office.
The US Government appears to be growing more cautious about AI. After restricting access to ChatGPT on government-owned computers, they are now also barring Microsoft’s Copilot AI due to potential significant security risks.
Axios recently reported that US Congressional staff have been instructed not to use Microsoft's Copilot on their official devices. House Chief Administrative Officer, Catherine Szpindor, issued this mandate via a memo, based on the Office of Cybersecurity's apprehensions about the possible threat of exposing House data to unapproved cloud services.
Although employees can still operate Copilot on their private phones and laptops, its usage has been prohibited on all Congress-owned Windows devices.
This action is akin to a comparable limitation enforced nearly a year prior on the employment of ChatGPT, another AI conversational interface driven by OpenAI's expansive language systems. The former prohibition permitted the premium edition, ChatGPT Plus, to be utilized for investigation and assessment purposes due to its heightened privacy settings. Moreover, the White House has lately revealed rules detailing the application of creative AI by government bodies, highlighting the importance of protecting the privileges and security of US citizens.
Addressing the worries, Microsoft admitted the need for increased security protocols for government users. The corporation had earlier revealed intentions to roll out a set of tools and services customized for government usage, featuring an Azure OpenAI service for classified tasks and an improved version of Microsoft 365's Copilot assistant. These services are anticipated to showcase advanced security attributes aimed at effectively managing confidential data.
According to Axios, Szpindor's office plans to appraise the government's rendition of Copilot once it's launched, to determine if it's appropriate for use on House gadgets.
