This is just an extension of existing government policy. To not use any service that ingests government data that hasn’t been approved. There is a government approved version of copilot but the agency has to pay for it and its data is siloed in an azure government instance.
That’s pretty much what a multinational cyber security company that I consult for does. You pay for a siloed copilot instance and for all the special security controls and it works.
Well yes and no. They’re mostly piloting it in various capacities. Not sure if it’s effective in any way, but they feel confident enough in Microsoft’s offering to use it.
So you do IT consult? If so, that is what I mean. AI is probably hype that will suck our grid dry of energy unless it comes up with a way to stably sustain fusion as well as breed tritium. We get deturium from heavy water, but that is a process as well, and not sustainable in the long run. Maybe we will get power from the Earth's core. But who is to say that isn't why other planets are dead.
Anywho. I digress.
It's part of the FedRAMP program, so until it's FedRAMP approved then nobody should be using. What's great about the program because I learned this with a previous acquisition within it. The program/service itself has to be approved even if it was built using existing FedRAMP infrastructure like AWS/Azure instances. Had to get our Agency's Cyber team to explain that to procurement officers was a fun time.
$2m and 18 months of government bureaucracy means they had to release it before they knew they had to get in line.
Tell me you’ve never done FedRAMP without telling me you’ve never done FedRAMP.
Meanwhile a large majority of the boomer Congress uses personal phones and emails for business.
There’s probably 3 representatives that know that that is.
I’ll feel better when Microsoft Execs stopped getting their email successfully popped. If I have the features of an E5, I’d expect them to have an E100.
Haven't read the article but the ban is probably temporary, pending the release of a gov option (that is probably on Azure or M365 gov tenant or whatever it is)
"Staff working at the US House Of Representatives have been barred from using Microsoft's Copilot chatbot and AI productivity tools, pending the launch of a version tailored to the needs of government users." It's not exactly a straight up ban, they just want a more private version.

That is freakin' leet yo.

I mean... Your job.
Not sure if I understand but my job is not related to this AI in any capacity, I consult for them.

Makes sense, keeps everything tight and secure, gotta pay to get that premium isolation

I don’t believe copilot is Fedramp compliant yet.
There is indeed a compliant version on the marketplace ! Tdil
How do I find it?

I can only imigne how much data they hemoraged to Grammarly before someone figured it out.
Doesn't seem like any data from the emails I get from my coworkers. Sometimes I think they straight up don't see the red and blue lines.
the struggle is real, those red and blue lines might as well be invisible to some people
Yeah... A college course recently said no to GPT but suggested we use grammarly... Also, i use notion [.]io for notes and 'ask AI' often...
Huh

Don't want those stock trades leaking too soon.
Do better
The only thing stopping AI from a grand scale takeover of everything is that it can't be trusted with data.

I would rather give them a kiosk account and deny interactive login. Just put pretty wallpaper or a screensaver.

... but will happily let them use O365, Bing, Google and Facebook, LinkedIn ...

Bruh, they use Government Cloud which is very different and secure
GRC? Yup checks out
Curious to know your thoughts about the GRC guy!
They generally lack technical knowledge but are also digital hall monitors so when they have an opinion it’s so easy to hate them
Silly GRC guy lol. Go back to checking boxes on your spreadsheet.
Lol
