OpenAI has launched a Computer History feature for ChatGPT on Mac that records user activity across selected apps and websites, letting the AI provide contextual answers. The feature, currently available to Pro, Business and Enterprise users, uses macOS accessibility data such as keystrokes and app switches rather than screenshots. Users can choose which apps contribute to the history and can pause or delete stored activity. In a separate interview at Internapalooza, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted that within six months a descendant of ChatGPT could watch screens, record calls, and have complete context of a user's life. Altman said the AI would not make decisions but would assist by managing information and flagging mistakes. Users would connect it to services like email or Slack and control what data it accesses.
