OpenAI has begun rolling out Health in ChatGPT to logged-in U.S. users on web and iOS, expanding a capability previously introduced in beta. The feature allows adults 18 and older to connect Apple Health data and medical records so ChatGPT can summarize lab results, track medications, compare changes over time, and use context such as sleep, activity, and recent healthcare visits in its responses.
OpenAI said ChatGPT will request permission before using connected records to personalize answers, and that linked health data and conversations based on that data will not be used to train its models or serve targeted advertising. The rollout spans Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, marking a broader consumer launch of health-data integration inside ChatGPT.

OpenAI has begun rolling out Health in ChatGPT to logged-in U.S. users on web and iOS. The feature is available to users aged 18 and older across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans.
OpenAI previously announced Health in ChatGPT as a beta in January, according to the MacRumors report. The feature connects Apple Health data and medical records so ChatGPT can provide health-related summaries and context-aware responses.

**OpenAI is rolling out new ChatGPT capabilities focused on safety controls and more personalized experiences**, including an **age prediction model** that attempts to determine whether a user is a teen or an adult and then applies stricter content safeguards for under-18 users. The model may use behavioral signals (e.g., conversation topics and usage patterns) and can misclassify adults; OpenAI says affected users can complete age verification via `https://chatgpt.com/verify_age`, potentially using a live selfie and/or government ID processed by partner **Persona**, which OpenAI says deletes submitted ID/selfie data within seven days. Under the under-18 experience, ChatGPT may restrict content categories such as violence/gore, dangerous or illegal content, and material promoting extreme beauty standards or unhealthy dieting/body shaming. OpenAI also announced a **ChatGPT “Health mode”** positioned as a dedicated health-and-wellness experience that can connect to health apps and allow users to upload personal files/records to “ground” conversations in their own health information, while emphasizing it is not intended to replace medical care or provide diagnosis/treatment. Separately, reporting on Apple indicates the company is considering transforming **Siri** into a deeply integrated AI chatbot across iOS/iPadOS/macOS (rumored codename “Campos”), with capabilities such as web search/summarization, image/content generation, and analysis of uploaded files and on-screen content; however, this is an Apple product roadmap item rather than an OpenAI security/safety change.

The deployment of AI-powered chatbots in healthcare is raising significant concerns among governance analysts and security experts. With the recent launch of ChatGPT Health by OpenAI, users can now connect medical records and wellness apps to receive personalized health guidance, a service reportedly used by over 230 million people weekly. Google has also entered the space through a partnership with health data platform b.well, indicating a trend toward broader adoption of AI-driven health advice. Experts warn that while some AI errors are obvious, others—such as plausible but potentially dangerous recommendations—may go undetected, especially for vulnerable populations. The lack of regulatory oversight and the inherent limitations of large language models, which generate authoritative-sounding responses without true understanding or uncertainty calibration, amplify these risks. Security professionals highlight the concept of "verification asymmetry," where users may be unable to distinguish between accurate and harmful advice generated by AI chatbots. This asymmetry, combined with the probabilistic nature of AI models, means that failures can be subtle and difficult to detect, potentially leading to adverse health outcomes. The rapid integration of AI into healthcare underscores the urgent need for robust governance, transparency, and safety mechanisms to mitigate risks associated with automated medical guidance and the handling of sensitive health data.

Anthropic expanded *Claude*’s free tier to include capabilities previously reserved for paid subscribers, including **file creation** (e.g., generating documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs), **longer conversations**, and **connectors** that can pull context from third-party services such as Google Drive/Gmail/Calendar, GitHub, Box, Slack, and others. The change is positioned as reducing the need for a $20/month subscription for some users, and it increases the amount of user data that may be processed via integrations—raising governance considerations around data access, retention, and third-party authorization in enterprise environments. Separately, OpenAI began testing **personalized ads in ChatGPT**, prompting internal criticism and the resignation of an OpenAI researcher who warned that ad-driven optimization could steer the product toward engagement-maximizing behavior similar to social media platforms. OpenAI’s documentation reportedly indicates ad personalization is **enabled by default** in the test and may use information from current and past chat threads and prior ad interactions to select ads, while claiming advertisers do not receive user chats or personal details and that ads will be restricted from appearing near certain sensitive topics (e.g., health, mental health, politics). The public dispute between OpenAI and Anthropic over ad-supported AI highlights emerging privacy and manipulation risks tied to monetization models, especially where conversational history influences targeting.
