The tool is designed to automate everyday tasks, but safety researchers found the model could also potentially help novices create biological threats

OpenAI is going all in on the most-hyped trend in AI right now: AI agents, or tools that go a step beyond chatbots to complete complex, multi-step tasks on a user’s behalf. The company on Thursday debuted ChatGPT Agent, which it bills as a tool that can complete work on your behalf using its own “virtual computer.”

Android Authority has been digging around in the files of the latest ChatGPT app (beta version 1.2025.196) and now reports that OpenAI will soon start watermarking images generated using the AI tool.

OpenAI just launched ChatGPT agent to perform a wide range of computer-based tasks for users, including running code and creating slideshows and presentations.

Are we growing over-reliant on AI? Maybe, but OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Agent tool probably isn’t going to help with that.

OpenAI is planning to take a cut from online product sales made through ChatGPT by integrating a payment checkout system into the chatbot, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing multiple people familiar with the proposals.

Since launching ChatGPT in late 2022, OpenAI has faced increased demand for computing power to train large language models.
