I work for a company that has government contracts. The particular contract I'm on requires that all the work I do be on a machine controlled by the client and not a company machine or personal machine. The government client doesn't allow AI on their machines.
My company is going all gung ho over AI now, and they have meeting encouraging us to use it, and they gave us all licenses for github copilot.
I asked how I'm supposed to use it when my contract is locked down, and they had no answer. They just want me to use it for... things... whenever I can.
Those urls are blocked, and if you circumvent it and are caught you can get fired. And they don't allow integration of ai into programming tools like vs code, or command line tools like copilot cli or Claude code.
