OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health Amidst User Demand for Medical Advice

  • OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Health, a dedicated feature for users to discuss health-related topics with AI.
  • Over 230 million users already seek health information weekly on ChatGPT, prompting the need for a separate, private space.
  • The new feature separates health conversations from regular chats and can integrate with third-party apps like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal.
  • Conversations within ChatGPT Health will not be used to train OpenAI's AI models, ensuring user privacy.
  • OpenAI warns ChatGPT is not for diagnosis or treatment due to AI's probabilistic nature and risk of "hallucinations," despite addressing healthcare challenges.

Why It Matters: OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health for private medical queries, cautioning users on AI's diagnostic limitations.
