OpenAI It is reportedly developing “agent software,” which will effectively take over your device and complete complex tasks on your behalf, according to the information. The OpenAI agent will run between multiple applications on your computer, performing clicks, cursor movements, and text typing. It's truly a new type of operating system, and it could completely change the way you interact with your computer.
It's all part of Sam Altman's vision to turn ChatGPT into “s”.Intelligent personal assistant” —Like Siri, but better. Companies like Google and Meta are also reportedly developing proxy software, according to the information. The idea is that the AI agent will use your computer on your behalf, instead of you using your computer. You can simply ask an AI agent to convert a document into a spreadsheet and analyze that data for you.
OpenAI is not only building this computer control agent, but also building an AI agent for web browsing. The web browser will be able to plan flights for you, collect data about companies, and other complex tasks beyond your requirements ChatGPT capabilities.
Altman is slowly turning OpenAI into an AI agent company. Which was launched recently GPT Store is a marketplace for AI agents. He alluded to the proxy software when introducing the GPT store on Development day On November 6th:
“In the end, you'll just ask the computer for what you need and it will do all those tasks for you,” Altman said. “These AI capabilities are often talked about as ‘agents.’ The upside of this will be enormous.”
The main advantage of this is interoperability, which requires the agent to access and navigate all the applications on your device. This will require the user to give a lot of control to OpenAI, and will require all applications to work together seamlessly. Users may feel uneasy about letting ChatGPT take the driver's seat.
Andrei Karpathy, founding member of OpenAI, said in a… YouTube video Recently, he does not think it is accurate to refer to large language models as chatbots. Instead, he called it “the core process of an emerging operating system.” These interconnected AI agents will not only talk, they will use your computer.
Nvidia Jensen Huang He pointed out during a New York Times Dealbook last November that AI has fundamentally changed computing, and that the “agent software revolution” is what he's talking about. “We're at the beginning of a new generation of computing. It hasn't been reinvented in 60 years, so that's why it's a big deal,” Huang said.
Agent software can radically change the way we use technology. However, it also involves handing over a lot of control to software companies like OpenAI. Are you ready to let ChatGPT use your computer for you?
