PC Gamer reports that OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has suggested parents could use artificial intelligence to create podcasts that preserve memories of their children’s lives. The idea points to a potential everyday use for generative AI, while also raising questions about privacy, consent and the role of technology in recording family memories.

The proposal envisages AI helping to turn personal information and recollections into an ongoing audio record, potentially making those memories easier to revisit later. It comes amid wider debate about AI tools that process intimate personal data, particularly where children are involved and the long-term handling of that material is uncertain.
