"OpenAI said Tuesday it is introducing its own web browser, Atlas, putting the ChatGPT maker in direct competition with Google as more internet users rely on artificial intelligence to answer their questions. Making itself a gateway to online searches could allow OpenAI, the world's most valuable startup, to pull in more internet traffic and the revenue that comes from digital advertising."
"OpenAI said Atlas launches Tuesday on Apple laptops running macOS and will later come to Microsoft's Windows, Apple's iOS phone operating system and Google's Android phone system. OpenAI's browser is coming out just a few months after one of its executives testified that the company would be interested in buying Google's industry-leading Chrome browser if a federal judge had required it to be sold to prevent the abuses that resulted in Google's ubiquitous search engine being declared an illegal monopoly."
OpenAI launched Atlas to serve as a gateway for online searches and to attract internet traffic and ad revenue. Atlas debuts on macOS with planned rollouts to Windows, iOS and Android. ChatGPT counts over 800 million users, many on a free tier, while OpenAI is operating at a loss and seeking profitability. The browser move directly targets Google Chrome, which has about 3 billion users and is integrating AI features. A federal judge recently rejected a forced sale of Chrome, citing AI-driven shifts in the competitive landscape, leaving Atlas with a significant market challenge.
