Senior Engineering Manager and IT blogger Dima Maleev assessed the prospects for the launch of the Operator AI Agent by OpenAI.
«So, here we are — OpenAI has launched Operator AI Agent. Now artificial intelligence can do things on the Internet for you — meaning it will use your browser, navigate to pages, analyze information, and press buttons,» Maleev noted .
On the one hand, he thought it was an obvious next step. «AI agents are the future of how we interact. It’s great that OpenAI is adding a lot of safety nets, like asking users for a login and password or permission to send an email. On the other hand, jailbroken models are released super quickly, so these safety nets are only for OpenAI products (which makes them super limited),» the IT guy noted.
Dmytro noted that he likes this technological evolution. «But I feel sad for the people who develop solutions for bot detection and scraping protection. The game’s difficulty has improved significantly due to the unexpected behavior of AI Agents,» he noted.
«We wanted to enjoy the Internet of Things, but here we are in the next phase of the Internet of Bots (as it always has been) — the Internet of Artificial Intelligence Agents. And if earlier, on one side, engineers wrote scripts, and on the other, engineers wrote detections, then GenAI will be on both sides. The Internet is the battlefield of the future,» the specialist believes.
As a reminder, recently, ChatGPT user noticed updates in the chatbot client code that indicate that the Operator AI agent will be available in a pre-release version for Pro subscribers. According to rumors, the Operator will be able to perform a number of tasks in the browser on behalf of the user.
The Information reported that OpenAI could launch Operator as early as this week.
Last November, it became known that OpenAI was preparing to launch a new artificial intelligence agent codenamed Operator as early as 2025. OpenAI’s AI agent can use a computer to perform actions on behalf of a person, such as writing code or booking tickets.
