Recently, it has been reported that OpenAI is preparing to launch an autonomous AI agent called "Operator," which can control computers and independently perform various tasks.
According to Bloomberg, this AI agent is expected to make its debut in January next year as a research preview and developer tool. This move will further intensify competition among tech giants in the field of AI agents. Recently, Anthropic also launched its "computer usage" feature, while Google is reportedly preparing to release its own version in December.
The launch of "Operator" marks a significant shift in AI systems. Unlike previous AI systems that could only handle text and images, this new product will be able to actively interact with computer interfaces.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a Reddit Q&A forum that they will continuously improve the model and believe that the next major breakthrough will be autonomous agents. OpenAI's Chief Product Officer, Kevin Weil, mentioned in the preliminary activities of the company's annual developer day that autonomous systems are expected to become mainstream by 2025.
As AI labs face increasing pressure to become profitable, the development team hopes to find a breakthrough product that can provide substantial returns on their significant investments by launching autonomous agents. The industry widely believes that autonomous AI agents will be an innovation similar to ChatGPT, driving further technological advancements.
At the same time, OpenAI's new initiative has garnered significant attention in the industry, and there are high expectations for AI agents that can autonomously complete tasks. Although the specific consumer release plans for "Operator" have not yet been made public, it is anticipated that the launch of this product will lead a new trend in artificial intelligence technology, prompting the introduction of more related products and technologies.
