ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, continues to be one of the most popular AI assistants globally. Accessible at no cost with premium subscription choices, the platform has consistently progressed with regular updates aimed at improving speed, dependability, and user satisfaction.
In April 2025, OpenAI phased out its GPT-4 model, launching GPT-4o — a quicker, inherently multimodal model that can handle text, images, and audio within one conversation. This enhancement greatly boosted memory and context retention throughout entire chat conversations, enabling more tailored and cohesive replies instead of addressing inquiries separately.
The platform encountered controversy in mid-2025 when certain users found their ChatGPT chat logs showing up in Google search results. OpenAI promptly eliminated the feature and assured enhanced protections for user privacy and data security.
Although ChatGPT has emerged as a significant source of referral traffic for news publishers, worries regarding its factual accuracy still linger over its expansion. Research by journalism organizations and academic scholars has highlighted the platform's propensity to generate “hallucinations” — replies that appear assured yet are factually incorrect. These results have sparked continuous discussion regarding the necessity for enhanced oversight and transparency in AI systems.
Assertions that ChatGPT has outperformed Wikipedia in user engagement ignited discussion, as analysts pointed out discrepancies in usage data and warned against exaggerated interpretations. OpenAI has asserted that ongoing enhancements in quality continue to be its primary focus.
Supported by OpenAI’s ongoing advancements and a large worldwide user community, ChatGPT is at the forefront of conversations regarding the transformation of information access, trust, and online communication by AI.
On this Special Report, Sneha Mordani explores the rapidly evolving landscape of modern healthcare on Health360. The programme delves into the growing trend of patients using OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI tools for medical guidance, with Mordani noting, 'AI can explain health, but not live with the consequences. That part is still human.' The report highlights the risks of AI 'hallucinations' and the lack of clinical nuance compared to human doctors, while also addressing significant privacy concerns in India’s $500 billion health-data market. Furthermore, the episode examines the controversial science of 'designer babies,' where genetic engineering allows for the selection of traits and the prevention of inherited diseases like cystic fibrosis. Mordani questions the ethical boundaries of using IVF and CRISPR technology for aesthetic perfection versus medical necessity, warning that such advancements may undermine the unconditional nature of parenting and societal values regarding human imperfection.

In this India Today special show from the World Economic Forum in Davos, top artificial intelligence innovators share their perspectives on the global AI race, AI's impact on the Indian economy and much more.
OpenAI Vice President Chris Lehane discusses the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the global economy, specifically highlighting India's pivotal role. Speaking at Davos 2026, Lehane dismissed 'AI bubble' concerns, revealing that users and companies integrating AI are experiencing a '7x multiplier' in economic productivity. He identified India as OpenAI's second-largest consumer market globally, trailing only the United States, and emphasized the country's vast talent pool of researchers and developers. Lehane addressed concerns regarding job displacement, advocating for 'AI literacy' to bridge the capability gap and ensure workers transition into more powerful roles. He compared the current technological shift to the invention of the printing press and electricity, suggesting that AI will empower small businesses and revolutionize sectors like healthcare and education. Looking ahead, Lehane predicted that 2026 will be defined by breakthroughs in science and the emergence of AI-integrated hardware devices.
On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating trade tensions between India and the United States. White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro has sparked a fresh controversy by questioning the cost burden of artificial intelligence services. Navarro stated, 'Why are Americans paying for AI in India?' while highlighting that platforms like ChatGPT operate on US soil and consume American electricity to serve large user bases in India and China. The transcript explores whether access to global digital platforms should be viewed as a national cost burden rather than a business decision. This development comes at a critical juncture as India prepares to host the India AI Impact Summit in February. Experts suggest that India’s massive user base actually helps improve AI models through data sets, making the technology transfer mutually beneficial. The programme examines the potential impact of these remarks on the ongoing India-US trade deadlock and whether they represent a new pressure tactic by Washington.
