WASHINGTON 11 March 2026 (The Capital Post)- The United States Senate has approved the official use of several artificial intelligence chatbots, including ChatGPT, to assist staff with certain work-related tasks, according to a report by The New York Times.
The move allows Senate offices to use selected AI tools under specific guidelines designed to ensure security and responsible usage. Officials said the chatbots can help staff with research, drafting documents, summarising information and other administrative tasks.
The approval follows months of internal evaluation aimed at balancing the productivity benefits of generative AI with concerns related to data privacy and cybersecurity.

Senate administrators emphasised that the AI systems will not be allowed to process classified or highly sensitive information. Instead, they will be used mainly for routine office work and general content assistance.
The decision reflects a growing trend among government institutions worldwide to explore the use of artificial intelligence to improve efficiency while establishing safeguards to manage potential risks associated with the technology.-The Capital Post
