Sounds like they just want to maintain control over the outbound traffic which sounds rather sensible to me.
History will spend a lot of time exploring how the two front runners of AI mismanaged their rep and eroded public trust so severely that people rejected their transformative technology.

TL;TR they want people to use Copilot
At first I was like: Nice, they ban AI because its all US based vendors and using them for government related data is not a good idea.
But then the story goes on and say MS Copilot is an approved AI... Sad thing to read.
A deal was signed behind closed doors.

History should spend some time looking at all the prediction-of-doom comments about shit that went on to conquer the world.

Thanks for this
They simply switched to Copilot.
It appears they are only allowing Microsoft Copilot. So it seems like possibly this is contractual with their Microsoft office/windows licenses.
