According to Decrypt, Sweden’s Government Offices will block access to ChatGPT and Claude on all staff computers beginning Monday. The decision follows a security review conducted by the government’s IT authority. Only Microsoft Copilot was found to meet the required standards and therefore remains accessible to civil servants.
The block applies specifically to internal use on official government computers. Staff are advised to use only approved AI tools for work-related tasks. No further details were provided about the review criteria, timeline for rollout, or exceptions.
Microsoft Copilot remains available to employees across all Government Offices locations. The change affects all civil servants using official devices for routine duties. The move reflects a precautionary measure based on current assessment results.
