Starting Monday, Oct 26, Regeringskansliet, the office that serves Sweden’s prime minister and ministries, blocks ChatGPT and Claude on staff work computers and points staff to the AI services it has approved, including Microsoft’s Copilot. Swedish Radio’s news program Ekot reported the change on Oct 23 (Sveriges Radio, in Swedish).
What Ekot reported
- The block: from Monday, ChatGPT and Claude can no longer be reached from staff work computers.
- Approved tools: staff are pointed to the AI services Regeringskansliet has approved, including Microsoft’s Copilot.
- Copilot security: after a review, Regeringskansliet also raised security in Copilot. The press office won’t share details, citing security.
- In-house platform: some staff keep access to ChatGPT and Claude through an AI assistant platform Regeringskansliet developed itself.
Digitalization director Mikael Wettercrantz declined an interview, but wrote on the staff intranet that using AI services without an agreement can have “consequences for our information security” (our translation).
What this means for your business
Whatever AI tools your team uses, being prepared starts with three things:
- Know which AI tools your team uses, including free apps and browser add-ons.
- Know what data goes into them, such as customer details, contracts or financial files.
- Know whether each tool is under a business agreement, or sits on a personal account.
Personal accounts vs. business plans
A free or personal AI account and a business plan tied to work accounts aren’t the same thing:
- Personal or free accounts sit under consumer terms, are controlled by the employee, and your business has no view of what goes in.
- Business plans come with business terms, admin controls over who uses what, and clear rules about your data. Each major vendor says it doesn’t train its models on business data from these plans by default:
- Microsoft 365 Copilot: prompts, responses and data accessed through Microsoft Graph aren’t used to train foundation models, and Copilot Chat includes enterprise data protection for eligible work accounts (Microsoft).
- ChatGPT Business: follows OpenAI’s Business Terms, and “OpenAI won’t train on your workspace’s data” (OpenAI Help Center).
- Claude Team and Enterprise: model training is listed as “none by default” (Anthropic).
- SpaceXSI’s Grok Business: lists “no training,” and SpaceXSI says it doesn’t use business prompts or answers to train its models unless you agree to it (SpaceXSI, Enterprise FAQ).
Which plan fits depends on the tools your team already uses. If your business runs on Microsoft 365, it’s also worth knowing which apps, AI tools included, are connected to your account. Our post Which Apps Can Get Into Your Microsoft 365? explains why.
Free Shadow-AI Assessment
“Shadow AI” means AI tools staff use without the business knowing or approving them. Our free Shadow-AI Assessment for small and mid-size businesses starts with three questions:
- Which AI tools are your staff using?
- What data goes into them?
- Which ones have a business agreement?
We’ll help you answer them and decide which tools to keep, which to move to a business plan and which to stop using.
