AI Summary

medium article 2 min

OpenAI launched an AI-powered web browser named ChatGPT Atlas in late October 2025. The Equity podcast team discussed whether this marks a shift away from traditional browsers like Safari. While OpenAI's substantial funding may give it an advantage over previous attempts to disrupt the market, early user feedback suggests only slight efficiency gains with potential security risks. Users have noted that AI agents sometimes perform redundant actions on websites, raising questions about their practical utility and implications for the future of web browsing. The launch also prompts discussions on the evolving role of search engines and the open web in an increasingly AI-driven internet landscape.
