- OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is reportedly preparing to launch its own AI-integrated web browser in the coming weeks.
- The new browser will feature a direct chat-like function and an AI agent, 'Operator', designed to assist users with tasks such as filling out forms and making reservations.
- This initiative aims to provide OpenAI with more direct access to user data, which will help improve the AI agent's capabilities.
- Built using Google's open-source Chromium code, the browser could potentially challenge Chrome's significant market share if adopted by a large number of ChatGPT users.
- Researchers have expressed concerns that increased reliance on AI tools, including such a browser, could reduce critical thinking skills and lead to overreliance on technology.
