Sam Altman: Within 6 months, ChatGPT can watch your screen, meetings and emails

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that within six months, a future version of ChatGPT could be capable of continuously monitoring a user's computer screen, meetings, and calls, while also accessing information from various services like email, documents, and Slack. Speaking in an interview, Altman explained that the AI assistant would operate alongside the user, maintain context across activities, and offer suggestions or perform tasks.

Users would have control over what information and services the assistant could access, and the assistant would not make decisions independently. Altman suggested that this development would likely change the way people work, particularly for those managing numerous tasks and information. While the six-month estimate is Altman's prediction, the actual product and release date have not been officially announced by OpenAI.
