OpenAI is set to release Operator, a new AI tool that can perform tasks in users’ web browsers. According to a report by Thomas Maxwell on Gizmodo, the launch is expected this week. The system will be able to navigate websites and complete actions like searching for flights or composing emails, though users must approve final transactions. Operator works by analyzing browser screenshots and sending commands for mouse movements and typing. While the tool could help less tech-savvy users navigate the internet, concerns exist about potential misuse for spam and automation. OpenAI has positioned this as part of their broader push toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), though early testing of similar tools by competitors has revealed limitations in reliability and speed.
