New AI browser set to challenge Google

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.
