A new class-action lawsuit claims OpenAI’s ChatGPT website used tracking tools embedded in the site to share users’ query topics and identifying information with Meta and Google. As more and more people turn to AI chatbots for everything from sensitive questions about personal problems to financial concerns, the case is raising fresh questions about how private those interactions really are.

The complaint, filed on May 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, alleges that OpenAI disclosed query topics and Facebook-linked identifiers to Meta, while Google allegedly received query topics, user IDs, and hashed email addresses through Google Analytics.

On May 19, the Fitbit app will become a thing of the past as Google Health takes over as the new home for the company’s fitness and wellness tools.

The move comes five years after the tech giant acquired Fitbit for $2.1 billion. Google is making the transition easy for existing customers, deploying Google Health as an update and rebranding of the existing app. It has assured users that their Fitbit data will migrate automatically.

Still, longtime Fitbit owners will need to adjust to a new layout. Google Health will organize downloaded data into four tabs: Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health. Third-party app and device integration will work through Health Connect, Apple Health, and Google Health APIs. U.S. users will also be able to sync their medical records to the app. Continue reading “Fitbit App Becomes Google Health as AI Coaching Takes Center Stage” →
