Altman: ChatGPT to Watch Screens & Record Calls in 6 Months

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described a future version of ChatGPT that could watch your computer screen and record every call. He made these remarks at Internapalooza, speaking with Z Fellows founder Cory Levy. This advanced ChatGPT would constantly observe a computer screen, sit through meetings, and record calls, maintaining full context of a user's life. What's interesting is Altman framed this as opt-in, meaning users would choose what the AI accesses, like text messages, email, or Slack. He estimates this could be genuinely useful in about one model generation, or roughly six months. This assistant would aim to catch mistakes, suggest ideas, and handle overflow tasks, especially for overloaded professionals. The public reaction has been largely skeptical, highlighting the tension between an AI needing full context to be useful and the privacy concerns of such extensive access. This development could change how we interact with technology and manage personal data.
