"US Space Force Pauses Use of AI Tools Like ChatGPT Over Data Security Risks"

The U.S. Space Force has recently paused using web-based generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT for its workforce over data security concerns.  A recent memo dated September 29 said that the Space Force prohibits personnel from using such AI tools, including large-language models, on government computers until they receive formal approval from the force's Chief Technology and Innovation Office.  The memo noted that the temporary ban was "due to data aggregation risks."  Air Force spokesperson Tanya Downsworth stated that a strategic pause on using Generative AI and Large Language Models within the U.S. Space Force has been implemented as they determine the best path forward to integrate these capabilities into Guardians' roles and the USSF mission.  Downsworth noted that more guidance on the Space Force's use of generative AI would be released next month.
