Swedish government offices to ban ChatGPT and Claude

Direct access to ChatGPT and Claude from staff workstations ends on October 26, and the restriction extends to the prime minister's office and every ministry Starting Monday, October 26, 2026, staff at the Regeringskansliet... can no longer open ChatGPT and Claude from their work computers. The block covers the prime minister's office and every ministry. Employees are steered to Microsoft Copilot, which the department reviewed and hardened, though the press office would not describe the security changes Vilka säkerhetsåtgärder som nu har införts i Copilot vill presstjänsten inte berätta.. A subset of staff will still reach both models through a platform the department built for AI assistants Vissa anställda får fortsatt tillgång till dem genom en egenutvecklad plattform för AI-assistenter. The report came from Ekot, the news service of Sveriges Radio, and relied on internal information. The digitalisation director, Mikael Wettercrantz, wrote on the intranet that using AI services without an agreement could affect information security AI-tjänster som används utan avtal kan få konsekvenser för informationssäkerheten. The department had already restricted the Chinese model service DeepSeek. Other Swedish public bodies have moved first: the Tax Agency and the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (Sis) have imposed similar blocks, and the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogden) is weighing one Spärrar har införts både på Skatteverket och Statens institutionsstyrelse, Sis, och hos Kronofogden bereds frågan just nu inför ett kommande ställningstagande.. For a team building an AI company, the decision shows that a public-sector buyer may judge a vendor by contract and security review rather than by model quality. The department's stated reasoning centers on which services it has approved and how they are used, not on a verdict that one model is unsafe Skillnaden handlar därmed om vilka tjänster och användningsformer som myndigheten har godkänt.
