OpenAI has introduced a new AI assistant feature for ChatGPT, enabling users to delegate tasks such as web browsing, restaurant reservations, and online shopping. This assistant can interact with files, browsers, calendars, and software, demonstrating a significant advancement in AI capabilities. Available to paid users, the rollout is temporarily excluded from the EU. OpenAI has emphasized safety by ensuring the assistant requires user permission for potential consequential actions, introducing guardrails to prevent misuse and rejecting tasks linked to security breaches.
The rollout sees AI systems capable of handling multi-step tasks, designed to toggle between systems for efficiency while ensuring user control over significant actions.
OpenAI acknowledges that enhanced capabilities of AI assistants come with greater risks, emphasising transparency about potential misuse and the importance of active user permission.
