'For national interest and public good'
"By making our products available to the U.S. government, we aim to ensure AI serves the national interest and the public good, aligned with democratic values while empowering policymakers to responsibly integrate these capabilities to deliver better services to the American people," the OpenAI website said in a statement.
Moreover, this will expedite internal authorisation of OpenAI’s tools for the handling of non-public sensitive data.

Recently, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model, disrupted the tech industry by surpassing ChatGPT in downloads on Apple's App Store, further putting pressure on tech giants and their substantial investments in scaling AI operations.
The OpenAI witnessed more than 90,000 government users accessing ChatGPT across federal, state, and local agencies since last year. However, they were facing some issues due to government compliance standards.
“We’ve heard from customers that what they want to do, they want to do more with our products but are limited by government compliance requirements,” Felipe Millon, the leader of OpenAI’s Government Go to Market program, said Monday.
