OpenAI is rolling out an update to ChatGPT that allows it to reference all past conversations, enhancing the platform's ability to provide personalized responses. While this feature aims to improve user experience, it has raised privacy concerns among users who fear being constantly "listened to" by the AI.

OpenAI is contesting a court order that requires the preservation of all ChatGPT user logs, including deleted and sensitive data, amid accusations from news organizations regarding copyright infringements. The company argues that the order jeopardizes user privacy and was issued without sufficient evidence of necessity, as it stems from concerns about users potentially deleting chats to hide their activity. OpenAI seeks to have the order vacated until a substantial need for such preservation can be demonstrated.

Public queries made in ChatGPT are being indexed by Google and other search engines, raising concerns about privacy and data exposure. Users may inadvertently share sensitive information through their interactions, which could become publicly accessible online. This development highlights the importance of being cautious with personal data when using AI platforms.

ChatGPT Atlas is a macOS application that integrates ChatGPT into your web browsing, allowing for instant answers, smarter suggestions, and task assistance. Users can control privacy settings, customize browsing preferences, and enable agent mode for interactive tasks, making the web more accessible and user-friendly.
