ChatGPT Atlas looks and works much like a standard web browser but infuses generative AI capabilities throughout the experience.

OpenAI on Tuesday unveiled a free web browser that is designed to work closely with the company’s artificial intelligence technologies, including the chatbot ChatGPT. The new browser, called Atlas, is a direct challenge to tech giants like Google, Apple and Microsoft, whose browsers have long dominated the internet.

OpenAI has its work cut out to justify the existence of its newfangled ChatGPT Atlas browser. It's extremely slow and vulnerable to exploits.

Has OpenAI shown us the future of Safari? In one way it has, because its new Atlas browser shows these generative AI (genAI)-based apps are no longer just windows to the web — they’re becoming intelligent copilots for our digital lives.

Just days after OpenAI released Atlas, its take on the web browser, the company is battling to maintain its reputation amid security concerns.
