ChatGPT's 'Computer History' logs keystrokes and clicks locally

ChatGPT users who enable the new 'Computer History' feature will have their keystrokes, clicks, and application changes logged. This data will be stored locally without encryption and sent to OpenAI to generate memories. The feature aims to provide a more user-friendly way to recall past actions within the application. AI

IMPACT This feature could enhance user experience by providing recall capabilities, but raises privacy concerns due to local, unencrypted data logging.

RANK_REASON This is a new feature for an existing AI product, not a core AI release or significant industry move.
