OpenAI's ChatGPT is expanding its reach with new integrations, allowing users to connect directly to tools like Google Drive and Dropbox. This update allows ChatGPT to access and analyze data from these cloud storage services, enabling users to ask questions and receive summaries with cited sources. The platform is positioning itself as a user interface for data, offering one-click access to files, effectively streamlining the search process for information stored across various documents and spreadsheets. In addition to cloud connectors, ChatGPT has also introduced a "Record" feature for Team accounts that can record meetings, generate summaries, and offer action items.

These new features for ChatGPT come with data privacy considerations. While OpenAI states that files accessed through Google Drive or Dropbox connectors are not used for training its models for ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, and Education accounts, concerns remain about the data usage for free users and ChatGPT Plus subscribers. However, OpenAI confirms that audio recorded by the tool is immediately deleted after transcription, and transcripts are subject to workspace retention policies. Moreover, content from Team, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces, including audio recordings and transcripts from ChatGPT record, is excluded from model training by default.

Meanwhile, Reddit has filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging the AI company scraped Reddit's data without permission to train its Claude AI models. Reddit accuses Anthropic of accessing its servers over 100,000 times after promising to stop scraping and claims Anthropic intentionally trained on the personal data of Reddit users without requesting their consent. Reddit has licensing deals with OpenAI and Google, but Anthropic doesn't have such a deal. Reddit seeks an injunction to force Anthropic to stop using any Reddit data immediately, and also asking the court to prohibit Anthropic from selling or licensing any product that was built using that data. Despite these controversies, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has stated that Microsoft profits from every ChatGPT usage, highlighting the success of their investment in OpenAI.
