OpenAI to Provide ChatGPT Access to U.S. Government Nearly Free of Charge
OpenAI has signed an agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration that allows government agencies broad access to ChatGPT at minimal cost. The deal encourages American AI companies to collaborate with the federal government and provides agencies with advanced AI capabilities for tasks such as summarization, translation, and data analysis. While details about usage limits or pricing structures weren’t disclosed, the offering is seen as a public service initiative rather than a commercial play.
This move marks a significant shift in how the U.S. government will utilize generative AI on a wide scale, setting a precedent for public-private AI partnerships.
