ChatGPT Health Rolls Out to Everyone While OpenAI Stares Down Major Lawsuits - Gizmodo
OpenAI has released its ChatGPT Health feature to all US users, allowing the AI to access personal medical and Apple Health data. The launch coincides with legal challenges regarding the chatbot's role in providing medical advice.
Why it matters
It raises significant concerns regarding data privacy and the liability of AI companies when providing health-related guidance.
On Thursday, OpenAI announced that it is officially making its controversial health assistant feature, ChatGPT Health, available to everyone in the United States.
By giving the chatbot access to your medical records and Apple Health data, ChatGPT users across the country aged 18 and up will be able to consult it for advice on anything from diet and workout routines to understanding medical test results.
The ChatGPT Health feature was initially unveiled earlier this year to a small group of early users. The new and improved feature builds on the feedback from those early testers, which includes integrating the feature directly into the chat experience rather than making it a separate space in the app. So, if you consent, your health information will inform not just your health-related inquiries, but pretty much everything you ask the chatbot.
