ChatGPT can now read your Google Drive and Dropbox
ChatGPT users can now use 'record mode' to take notes on meetings, brainstorming sessions, or thinking-out-loud soliloquies, OpenAI announced Wednesday. ChatGPT can also now connect to Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Sharepoint, and OneDrive, and users can query it for answers about their stored spreadsheets and documents — like 'What was my company's revenue in Q1 last year?' or 'Tell me how many times I took the ferry on my Italy trip last year.'
'ChatGPT will structure and clearly present the data - and respect your organization's existing permissions on the user level - from those documents, with citations,' the company wrote in a release.
The recording feature is currently only available for ChatGPT Team users (a subscription plan that will set you back $25 per person per month with an annual subscription of 2+ users). The notes and transcriptions include timestamped citations and action items.
Connections to third-party storage services are available for users of ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, or Edu, OpenAI's student-focused offering.
The new features are part of OpenAI's push to corner the market on enterprise AI clients, which are big spenders. It launched ChatGPT Enterprise in 2023, less than a year after the launch of ChatGPT, with clients including Block, Canva, The Estée Lauder Companies, and PwC. Then it followed up with the launch of ChatGPT Team, an option for smaller companies or teams, in January 2024.
OpenAI now has 3 million 'paying business users,' up from 2 million in February.
The company is competing directly with tech giants and startups alike for high-paying enterprise AI clients. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Anthropic are all chasing the same type of business and racing to roll out generative AI features for them, in an industry-wide AI arms race that's predicted to surpass $1 trillion in revenue in less than seven years.

Judge approves landmark NCAA settlement, clearing way for schools to pay athletes directly
A federal judge signed off on arguably the biggest change in the history of college sports on Friday, clearing the way for schools to begin paying their athletes millions of dollars as soon as next month as the multibillion-dollar industry shreds the last vestiges of the amateur model that defined it for more than a century. Nearly five years after Arizona State swimmer Grant House sued the NCAA and its five biggest conferences to lift restrictions on revenue sharing, U.S. Judge Claudia Wilken approved the final proposal that had been hung up on roster limits, just one of many changes ahead amid concerns that thousands of walk-on athletes will lose their chance to play college sports. The sweeping terms of the so-called House settlement include approval for each school to share up to $20.5 million with athletes over the next year and $2.7 billion that will be paid over the next decade to thousands of former players who were barred from that revenue for years. In a letter penned by NCAA President Charlie Baker following the announcement, Baker wrote that the settlement "opens a pathway to begin stabilizing college sports. This new framework that enables schools to provide direct financial benefits to student-athletes and establishes clear and specific rules to regulate third-party NIL [name, image and likeness] agreements marks a huge step forward for college sports." The agreement brings a seismic shift to hundreds of schools that were forced to reckon with the reality that their players are the ones producing the billions in TV and other revenue, mostly through football and basketball, that keep this machine humming. The scope of the changes — some have already begun — is difficult to overstate. The professionalization of college athletics will be seen in the high-stakes and expensive recruitment of stars on their way to the NFL and NBA, and they will be felt by athletes whose schools have decided to pare their programs. The agreement will resonate in nearly every one of the NCAA's 1,100 member schools boasting nearly 500,000 athletes. Wilken's ruling comes 11 years after she dealt the first significant blow to the NCAA ideal of amateurism when she ruled in favor of former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon and others who were seeking a way to earn money from the use of their name, image and likeness, or NIL — a term that is now as common in college sports as "March Madness" or "Roll Tide." It was just four years ago that the NCAA cleared the way for NIL money to start flowing, but the changes coming are even bigger. Wilken granted preliminary approval to the settlement last October. That sent colleges scurrying to determine not only how they were going to afford the payments, but how to regulate an industry that also allows players to cut deals with third parties so long as they are deemed compliant by a newly formed enforcement group that will be run by auditors at Deloitte. The agreement takes a big chunk of oversight away from the NCAA and puts it in the hands of the four biggest conferences. The ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC hold most of the power and decision-making heft, especially when it comes to the College Football Playoff, which is the most significant financial driver in the industry and is not under the NCAA umbrella like the March Madness tournaments are.

United Switches Off Starlink Internet on Regional Jets After Static Problem
United Airlines started rolling out free Starlink Wi-Fi last month with fanfare. But it has had to disable the service on roughly two dozen planes to address problems with static interference. United said Friday that it is working with Starlink to address 'a small number of reports' about the problem, which it said isn't a flight-safety issue. While it is being fixed, the Starlink-equipped regional jets have been operating with the Wi-Fi turned off.

An OpenAI exec says she was diagnosed with breast cancer and that ChatGPT has helped her navigate it
Kate Rouch, the chief marketing officer at OpenAI, shared on Friday that she was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer weeks after assuming the role, which she called her "dream job," in December. In a thread posted on X, Rouch said she was sharing her story to help other women, adding, "We can't control what happens to us--but we can choose how we face it. My biggest lesson: no one fights alone." Prior to joining OpenAI as the company's first CMO, Rouch was CMO at Coinbase and, before that, spent over a decade at Meta, including as vice president, global head of brand and product marketing. Rouch said she started treatment right around the Super Bowl in February, when OpenAI aired its first-ever ad, and that she has since gone through 13 rounds of chemotherapy while leading OpenAI's marketing team. She wrote that she is expected to make a full recovery. "It has been the hardest season of life — for me, for my husband, and for our two young children," Rouch said, adding she has been supported by OpenAI "at every step." "Silicon Valley can be brutal and transactional. And yet — I've never felt more held," she said, adding that "people showed up in incredible and unexpected ways." Rouch also said OpenAI's ChatGPT has helped her navigate her diagnosis and treatment, including by explaining cancer in a way that is age-appropriate for her kids, helping her manage the side effects of chemo, and creating custom meditations. "Experiencing our work as a patient has made OpenAI's mission feel more personal and important," she said. Rouch said she was sharing her story to encourage other women to "prioritize their health over the demands of families and jobs." "A routine exam saved my life. It could save yours, too," she said. Business Insider reached out to OpenAI for comment. Kevin Weil, the chief product officer at OpenAI, expressed support for Rouch in a reply to her thread. "We love you @kate_rouch!" he wrote. "Proud of you for telling your story and for being so full of fight."
