Sweden's Government Offices Block ChatGPT and Claude, Keep Microsoft Copilot
Sweden’s Government Offices will block staff access to consumer versions of ChatGPT and Claude, making security-reviewed Microsoft Copilot the only approved external AI tool from Monday. Officials cited risks from entering sensitive information into services without formal contracts and mishandling AI-generated responses. Some staff may retain access to ChatGPT and Claude through an internal platform, though its reach and restrictions are unclear. Other Swedish agencies have introduced or are considering similar limits. The European Parliament disabled AI features on work devices, including Copilot. A caveat is that Copilot incorporates Claude models, which are off by default in the EU; Sweden has not said whether they are enabled in its instance.
