OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health to all U.S. users over 18 on free and paid plans, letting them link personal data from Apple Health, Epic and other platforms. The feature, tested since January amid rising health queries and a lawsuit over bad advice, still carries a disclaimer against using it for formal diagnosis.

• ChatGPT Health is now available to all US users 18+ across free and paid plans, letting them connect data from Apple Health, Epic, and similar platforms into any chat.
• Health-related queries on ChatGPT have jumped from 230 million to 300 million per week since January testing began.
• OpenAI still disclaims the tool for diagnosis or treatment, a stance relevant to a lawsuit claiming ChatGPT discouraged a Florida pastor from seeing a doctor.

Getty Images struck a multi-year deal to surface its licensed photo and video libraries within ChatGPT’s search and discovery features. The integration brings high-quality visuals into AI responses by leveraging Getty’s content across OpenAI’s interface.

• Getty Images signed a multi-year deal letting ChatGPT pull licensed photos and videos into its search/discovery results instead of generic or unlicensed images.
• Getty's CEO frames it as making AI search "more useful and more trustworthy" by illustrating answers with real, professionally shot content.
• Getty brings a huge pool to draw from: three brands (Getty Images, iStock, Unsplash), ~600,000 contributors, coverage of 160,000+ live events yearly, and a historical archive dating back to early photography.

OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Images 2.0, its upgraded image-generation feature within ChatGPT. The update adds multiple output modes—classic, horizontal, square, and vertical—for more flexible image creation directly in the chat interface.

• Generation speed dropped from about 7 seconds to roughly 3 seconds per image
• New aspect-ratio presets (Horizontal, Square, Vertical) eliminate manual dimension prompts
• Reference injection lets users upload a sample image to blend its style with a text prompt
• Image generation and editing now happen directly inside ChatGPT threads instead of a separate tool

OpenAI has introduced a Health mode for ChatGPT, allowing users to securely share health information and connect medical records and wearables. While this aims to enhance accessibility and privacy, concerns arise over the potential for misleading medical advice and data security, especially given previous incidents involving harmful guidance.

• OpenAI launched a Health mode letting ChatGPT users connect medical records and wearables, claiming encrypted, separate storage from regular chat history despite not being HIPAA-compliant.
• Over 230 million people already ask ChatGPT medical questions weekly, so this formalizes existing behavior rather than creating new use.
• Past cases of harmful chatbot advice leading to hospitalization or death raise doubts about safety despite physician-shaped guidelines meant to redirect users to real doctors.
• Mental health support was notably excluded from the update, raising questions about OpenAI's priorities on user safety.

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, a dedicated platform for users to discuss health-related topics with the AI. This feature aims to separate health conversations from regular chats and can integrate with wellness apps, while also addressing challenges in the healthcare system. However, OpenAI emphasizes that the tool is not intended for diagnosing or treating health conditions.

• OpenAI says 230 million users ask ChatGPT health-related questions every week.
• ChatGPT Health is a separate space for health conversations, distinct from regular chats.
• It can integrate with wellness apps to pull in personal health data.
• OpenAI stresses the tool is not meant to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
