ChatGPT wants access to your health records so it can be a better not-doctor
What's happening
OpenAI is rolling out "Health in ChatGPT" to all U.S. users, letting people connect medical records and health-tracking data from services like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. Ashley Alexander, OpenAI's vice president of health product, told reporters the company's models "are now capable of reasoning at levels that are better than clinician level." The launch comes amid coverage noting the feature's timing, including a report that it arrived a day after a lawsuit claimed chatbot advice contributed to a near-fatal embolism.
Why it's trending
