Problem

Naval Group needed to protect sensitive information while giving employees access to generative AI. It blocked external services such as ChatGPT.

Approach

Following a January 2024 challenge from its chief executive, Naval Group created the internal N-GPT chatbot. The company used its own data centers to protect sensitive information. N-GPT supported several uses, including queries involving its Business Management System.

150users generating the reported daily requests, according to Naval Group's chief data officerCompany's own claim[1]
