The United States Senate has given the official go-ahead for artificial intelligence chatbots to be used in government operations, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday that referenced an internal memorandum.
Senate staff members are now permitted to utilize three specific AI platforms for their official duties: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini chat service, and Microsoft Copilot. According to the report, these three AI tools have already been incorporated into the Senate’s existing technology systems.
When contacted for confirmation about this development, a Microsoft representative stated the company was investigating the reported approval. Neither Google nor OpenAI provided responses when asked to comment on the matter.
