Full Summary
This Sunday morning, OpenAI has launched a new "Health" feature for ChatGPT in the United States, allowing users to connect their Apple Health and medical records for personalized assistance. Both Samaa TV and ManilaShaker Philippines confirm this feature is available to logged-in US users aged 18 and older, across different ChatGPT plans. Users can securely link health information like medications, lab results, and sleep data. ChatGPT can then use this to compare test results or summarize changes since previous appointments. OpenAI notes that over 300 million people already use ChatGPT weekly for health questions. However, Yahoo reports a former pastor is suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, claiming ChatGPT's medical advice nearly led to his death. Scott Winters alleges ChatGPT-4o dismissed his symptoms, leading to a massive pulmonary embolism. His legal team seeks financial damages and an injunction to pause ChatGPT Health. This lawsuit follows another where a Texas couple sued OpenAI after their son's overdose, raising questions about AI companies' responsibility for medical advice. In other news, The Hans India reports a global outage hit OpenAI's core services, including ChatGPT, its developer API, and Codex, with users worldwide unable to access conversations or run prompts. Meanwhile, NewsGhana highlights that OpenAI's ChatGPT has entered the top 10 most impersonated brands in phishing attacks for the first time, signaling new targets for cybercriminals. This new health integration could change how you manage your personal health information, but be aware of the ongoing legal challenges and the potential for AI-related cyber threats.
