ChatGPT could 'see everything': New feature may monitor your digital activity

OpenAI founder Sam Altman has revealed plans for a future iteration of ChatGPT that could continuously monitor users' digital activities, including screens, meetings, and calls, within the next six months.

Altman described this upcoming assistant as capable of observing computer activity and accessing tools like emails, messages, documents, and meetings, provided the user grants permission. The objective is to equip the AI with a more comprehensive understanding of users' daily lives and work contexts.

This advanced technology could function more proactively than current chatbots, detecting situations, offering suggestions, and helping users avoid errors based on the information it processes. Altman presented these ideas at a recent Silicon Valley conference.

The proposal has sparked varied responses on social media. While some users expressed enthusiasm for an assistant that could grasp a significant portion of their daily activities, others voiced concerns about privacy and the implications of such continuous monitoring.
