A new ChatGPT feature for Mac logs what you do on screen, and Kaspersky says to check the settings before you switch it on.
ChatGPT has a new feature called Computer History that keeps a running diary of what you do on a Mac. Security company Kaspersky has now published advice on how to set it up. The short version: look at what it records before you turn it on.
Computer History is built for Apple Mac computers. It creates a log of your activity on the computer. The material available does not spell out exactly what is captured, how long it is kept, or where it is stored. Those are the details worth finding out first.
Anyone who uses ChatGPT on a Mac could be touched by this, including people who use the computer for work. A running log of screen activity can include private or work details, such as personal messages, client information or financial pages. That is why the settings matter.
The material does not say when the feature arrives for everyone, whether it costs extra, or what Kaspersky recommends in detail. It also does not explain how the log is protected. Until those answers are clear, treat the feature as something to review, not something to enable on autopilot.
Before turning on ChatGPT's Computer History on a Mac, check what it records and confirm you can switch it off.
