Swedish government offices block ChatGPT and Claude on work computers
Original title: Swedish government offices to ban ChatGPT and Claude
Staff must use approved tools such as Copilot, while some keep access through an internal assistant platform.
Sweden's Government Offices will block ChatGPT and Claude on staff work computers from Monday so employees use approved services, including Microsoft Copilot. Digitalization director Mikael Wettercrantz said AI use without a contract can affect information security. Some staff will still reach ChatGPT and Claude through an in-house assistant platform. The Tax Agency and SiS have similar blocks, the Enforcement Authority is preparing a decision, and Trafikverket's audit found risky use of about ten AI services.
Unconfirmed: The press office declined to describe what changed in the Copilot security review.
- Deepseek use was already limited at the Government Offices.
- Copilot security was raised after a review, but details were not disclosed.
- Trafikverket cited sensitive inputs and mishandled AI-generated answers.
- Kronofogden is preparing a formal position on the issue.

Regeringskansliet inför en spärr för AI-tjänsterna Chat GPT och Claude, som från måndag inte längre kan nås från personalens tjänstedatorer. Spärren införs för att man vill att medarbetarna använder de tjänster som regeringskansliet godkänt, däribland Microsofts AI-verktyg Copilot. Samtidigt har man efter en översyn också höjt säkerheten i Copilot, vilket framkommer av intern information som Ekot har tagit del av.
