Sweden's Government Offices Block ChatGPT and Claude, Keep Microsoft Copilot

What happened: Sweden's Government Offices will block ChatGPT and Claude on staff computers from October 26, citing information security concerns. Microsoft Copilot remains the only approved AI tool after a dedicated security review. Key numbers: Block starts October 26. Why it matters: Mikael Wettercrantz said open AI services without formal contracts can have consequences for information security. Sweden's Tax Agency and the National Board of Institutional Care have already imposed similar bans, and the Enforcement Authority is preparing its own decision.
