The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has made ChatGPT available for all employees, according to an internal email obtained by FedScoop. Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill said in the email the move follows President Donald Trump’s AI Action Plan, which directs agencies to provide staff access to generative AI tools that could enhance their work.

“As Secretary Kennedy said, ‘The AI revolution has arrived.’” 

O’Neill said, “This tool can help us promote rigorous science, radical transparency, and robust good health.”

O’Neill also highlighted the platform’s potential to improve efficiency, particularly in summarizing long documents, and noted its usefulness to other agencies like the FDA and the Administration for Children and Families. He urged staff to approach outputs critically, watching for bias and validating information with original sources before making decisions.

OpenAI’s $1-per-agency ChatGPT Enterprise deal enabled the deployment, marking HHS as the first federal agency to participate.
