OpenAI has introduced new restrictions preventing ChatGPT from offering advice in health and legal matters. The company said the chatbot will now provide only general information sourced from the internet and recommend consulting a licensed doctor or lawyer for specific issues.
The update also limits ChatGPT’s ability to analyze medical images, part of a broader effort to ensure safety and compliance as AI use expands into regulated fields.
Analysts note that the move underscores growing scrutiny over AI-generated guidance and highlights OpenAI’s focus on aligning ChatGPT with responsible use policies across professional domains.
