Government employees in Sweden will not use artificial intelligence tools ChatGPT and Claude

In the statement made by the Swedish government, it was noted that within the framework of a research conducted at the beginning of 2026, it was concluded that artificial intelligence platforms caused "problematic" use in the performance of public duties.

In the statement, it was stated that government employees will not use OpenAI's artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT and the versions of the Claude model developed by the US-based artificial intelligence company Anthropic on their work computers in the future, and it was reported that the decision was taken due to security concerns regarding the processing of sensitive data.

It was stated in the statement that government employees will be able to benefit from artificial intelligence within the framework of stricter controls, and that the application is valid as of this week.

Swedish media also noted that restrictions were imposed on the use of ChatGPT and Claude in the Swedish Tax Agency and the National Care Board.
