OpenAI is now allowing some ChatGPT users to connect their bank accounts and financial data directly to the platform. In this episode, we discuss the technology behind the feature, the convenience it promises, and the serious privacy and security questions it raises.

From AI-generated budgeting advice to the risks of centralized financial profiling, we examine what happens when conversational AI gains visibility into your spending habits, debts, subscriptions, and financial goals.
