OpenAI introduces Computer History, an opt-in keylogging and event capture feature for ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise users on macOS, which records user interactions locally and sends event data to OpenAI servers to build ChatGPT memories. The feature raises privacy and security concerns, is off by default, restricted in Europe and the UK, and increases prompt injection risks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You in AI product development need to rethink data handling and consent as OpenAI's shift to user-enabled keylogging opens privacy and security risks. This change forces you to clarify user permissions clearly or face legal exposure and trust issues.
