OpenAI announces addition of a chatbotA dedicated portal named "ChatGPT Health"This new feature allows users to connect their personal medical records and health management apps with the ChatGPT service, enabling AI to provide more objective and personalized health advice based on the user's physical data.
Integrate personal data to provide personalized health consultations
ChatGPT Health's core concept lies in "data integration".
In the past, when users asked health questions, they often had to manually input a lot of background information before AI could provide a more accurate response. With the launch of the new feature, ChatGPT can directly read relevant values by connecting to wearable devices or electronic medical records, and provide more appropriate dietary, exercise, or lifestyle suggestions based on the user's specific situation.
Emphasis is placed on privacy protection; data is not used in model training.
In response to concerns about privacy, OpenAI emphasized that ChatGPT Health is an independently operating space with additional privacy protection measures. The company explicitly promised that all conversations and uploaded health data within this dedicated portal will not be used to train OpenAI's base models, attempting to alleviate users' concerns about the leakage of sensitive personal data.
ChatGPT Health is currently still in the testing phase, and the health apps it can connect to may have regional restrictions.
Warning: AI is not a doctor; use it with caution.
Despite the convenience the features may seem, OpenAI also reiterated in its announcement that ChatGPT Health cannot be used for diagnosis or treatment.
Currently, neither ChatGPT nor any other AI chatbot is qualified to provide medical advice. Furthermore, given the risk of "hallucination" inherent in AI, its conclusions could still be erroneous or even dangerous.
Furthermore, entrusting highly sensitive personal medical privacy to technology companies carries inherent risks. Especially given the past controversies surrounding AI in relation to mental health, users should exercise extreme caution before entrusting their vital data to AI.
