US Government Agencies to Gain Access to OpenAI GPT-4 AI Tech Through Microsoft Azure

Microsoft is reportedly expanding its Azure Government cloud computing service by integrating OpenAI’s models and providing government agencies with access to generative artificial intelligence (AI). According to a Microsoft blog post previewed by Bloomberg, plans are underway to bring OpenAI’s GPT-4 large multimodal model and GPT-3 large language model to Azure Government customers.

Although specific details regarding the departments benefiting from these AI tools are scarce for security reasons, Bloomberg suggests that entities such as the US Defense Department, the Energy Department, and NASA could potentially be among the beneficiaries.
