I think some good background for this is also that Skatteverket ("Swedish IRS") has made headlines recently for allowing wide usage of Azure within its IT-infrastructure. Seemingly with very little investigation into the abysmal privacy/integrity/confidentiality posture of US-based cloud services.

I would suspect those headlines caused public officials to investigate how the public sector employees actually use AI chatbots.

Apparently Skatteverket was just about to migrate to Office 365 for email until other administrative agencies complained: https://www.realtid.se/it-tech/skatteverkets-microsoftmejl-s...

I can't fathom why they would willingly try to migrate such critical operations away from a secure state-run system. I'm sure that system sucks in some ways. But those issues can be worked on, surely.
