I don't know for ChatGPT but Claude claims that it will keep your chat private and not use your data for training if you are on a paid plan [1], unless you decide otherwise: "By default, we will not use your inputs or outputs from our commercial products (e.g. Claude for Work, Anthropic API, Claude Gov, etc.) to train our models."
The same statement is missing from the free plan policy page [2] So it's totally reasonable for a Government to block its staff from using free services as this may leak sensitive information. We are doing the same in my organization hoping to protect our intellectual property.

I have been working in product development for 25+ years, and I have friends in different organizations all over Italy, where I live. They told me many horror stories of clients who had custom software built by consultants using Scala because it was cool, and few years later the consultants disappeared and the client remained with a sophisticate piece of software that is crucial for their business, which was written in a language that no other consultant wants to touch.
In short, while there are better languages out there, Java is a decent language with a large developer base and from a long term perspective and from a risk management point of view, Java is still the best choice for me. The latest revision of the Tiobe index shows Java at fourth place while Kotlin and Scala rank respectively 32nd and 40th place.
