The U.S. Senate administration has approved the official use of OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Microsoft's Copilot. The news, initially reported by the New York Times, was confirmed by obtaining the full memorandum.

Approval Details

According to the memorandum, the Sergeant at Arms (SAA) office, through the Chief Information Officer (CIO), has authorized the use of the three generative artificial intelligence platforms with Senate data. To facilitate adoption, the SAA will provide each Senate employee with a free license for Gemini Chat or ChatGPT Enterprise. Copilot will also be available at no cost.
