"Last week, OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT Atlas, a web browser that promises to
revolutionise how we interact with the internet. The company’s CEO, Sam Altman,
described it as a “once-a-decade opportunity” to rethink how we browse the web.
The promise is compelling: imagine an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant
that follows you across every website, remembers your preferences, summarises
articles, and handles tedious tasks such as booking flights or ordering
groceries on your behalf.
But beneath the glossy marketing lies a more troubling reality. Atlas is
designed to be “agentic”, able to autonomously navigate websites and take
actions in your logged-in accounts. This introduces security and privacy
vulnerabilities that most users are unprepared to manage.
While OpenAI touts innovation, it’s quietly shifting the burden of safety onto
unsuspecting consumers who are being asked to trust an AI with their most
sensitive digital decisions."
