ChatGPT's Future: AI to Monitor Screens for Context

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, says a future ChatGPT could constantly monitor user screens and meetings. This next version, possibly within six months, aims to gain insight into a user's full context. Here's the thing: Altman envisions an AI assistant that watches every meeting and records every call to understand your entire life. It would then use this information to offer special, context-sensitive help. Users could control what the assistant accesses and it would work alongside them, suggesting ideas and tasks when authorized. For example, when writing a sales email, the AI could use customer history and past conversations to suggest improvements in real time. This system would move beyond simple prompts to understand what a user is doing across different activities. The bottom line: This could significantly change how people work by providing highly personalized AI assistance.
