OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Atlas Browser, Taking Direct Aim at Google Chrome

/in /tarafından

OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT Atlas on Tuesday, its first AI-powered web browser, positioning it as a serious challenger to Google Chrome’s dominance. Built around the company’s flagship chatbot, Atlas integrates conversational search, task automation, and real-time web interaction into one platform — a move that could reshape how users navigate the internet.

With more than 800 million weekly ChatGPT users, OpenAI aims to extend its reach into everyday browsing, potentially capturing vast amounts of consumer interaction data and accelerating the shift from keyword searches to AI-driven query synthesis. The launch triggered market ripples, with Alphabet (GOOGL.O) shares falling 1.8% in afternoon trading.

Atlas introduces features such as a ChatGPT sidebar that summarizes articles, compares products, and extracts data directly from websites. A premium “agent mode” allows ChatGPT to autonomously complete online tasks, from trip planning to shopping. In a live demo, the AI browsed for a recipe, then purchased all listed ingredients via Instacart, demonstrating what OpenAI calls “autonomous digital agency.”

The browser debuted on Apple’s macOS, with Windows, iOS, and Android versions coming soon. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the launch represents the company’s broader mission to “reimagine how people interact with information and the web.”

The move intensifies OpenAI’s rivalry with Google, which has been embedding its Gemini AI model into Chrome and search results. Google Chrome still commands 71.9% of the global browser market, according to StatCounter, but analysts say Atlas could erode that lead — especially if OpenAI enters the digital advertising space.

“Integrating chat into a browser is a precursor for OpenAI to start selling ads,” said Gil Luria, analyst at D.A. Davidson. “If it does, it could take a meaningful share of search advertising from Google, which currently holds about 90% of that market.”

The launch of Atlas marks a new phase in OpenAI’s challenge to Big Tech dominance, potentially transforming how people browse, search, and transact online — and redefining the balance of power in the AI era.

New Study Finds Major AI Assistants Frequently Misrepresent News Content

A new international study from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the BBC has found that leading AI assistants—including ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity—misrepresented or mishandled news content in nearly half their responses. The research, published Wednesday, examined 3,000 AI-generated answers to news-related questions in 14 languages, assessing factual accuracy, sourcing, and the ability to distinguish fact from opinion.

The findings were troubling: 45% of AI responses contained at least one significant factual or interpretive issue, while 81% showed some form of problem, ranging from poor attribution to incorrect information. Roughly one-third of all replies featured serious sourcing errors, such as missing or misleading references. Notably, 72% of Google’s Gemini outputs contained significant sourcing flaws—far higher than the under 25% rate for other assistants.

Accuracy issues appeared in 20% of total responses, including outdated or false claims. Examples cited include Gemini incorrectly describing legal changes on disposable vapes, and ChatGPT erroneously identifying Pope Francis as still alive months after his reported death.

The study, involving 22 public-service media organizations across 18 countries, warned that the growing use of AI assistants for news—especially among younger audiences—could threaten public trust. According to the Reuters Institute’s 2025 Digital News Report, 15% of people under 25 now rely on AI assistants for news updates.

“When people don’t know what to trust, they end up trusting nothing at all, and that can deter democratic participation,” said Jean Philip De Tender, EBU’s media director. The report calls for greater accountability and transparency from AI developers to ensure reliable and responsibly sourced information.
