Furthermore, even with the ChatGPT Plus service, House offices are restricted to using the chatbot with publicly accessible data. Privacy features must be manually enabled to prevent interactions from providing data to the AI model. As a result, the free tier of ChatGPT, as well as other large language models, are currently prohibited.
Axios has reached out to the House for comment on this matter, and further information will be provided if available. It is worth noting that such usage restrictions align with concerns raised by various institutions and companies regarding the potential risks and misuse of generative AI. Instances of AI-generated attack ads by Republicans and purported leaks of sensitive data by Samsung staff while using ChatGPT have drawn criticism. Schools have also banned the use of these systems due to concerns related to cheating.
