Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has announced a groundbreaking pilot program in which state employees will use ChatGPT Enterprise, a generative AI, making Pennsylvania the first state in the nation to do so. The program aims to enhance state services and government operations with AI technology.
ChatGPT Enterprise will be used by state employees to create and edit copy, update policy language, draft job descriptions, and help with coding. The enterprise version comes with enhanced security and privacy features, addressing the concerns regarding potential security vulnerabilities that have been associated with generative AI.
This initiative, in partnership with OpenAI, showcases a proactive approach by Governor Shapiro’s administration to harness the power of generative AI while mitigating its risks. The pilot program’s success may pave the way for other state governments to adopt similar AI tools for their operations.
