Despite safeguards, OpenAI’s new AI browser ‚can still make (sometimes surprising!) mistakes,‘ warns CISO Dane Stuckey, who also cites prompt injection attacks as an ‚emerging risk.‘
OpenAI on Tuesday debuted its long-awaited AI browser, ChatGPT Atlas, but one company executive is now warning that it may not always do what you want it to.
AI browsers promise to take routine actions on the web for you, such as scheduling meetings or buying groceries on Instacart. But they’re far from perfect. „ChatGPT agent is powerful and helpful, and designed to be safe, but it can still make (sometimes surprising!) mistakes, like trying to buy the wrong product or forgetting to check in with you before taking an important action“, OpenAI Chief Information Security Officer Dane Stuckey wrote on X.
Of concern are prompt injection attacks, or when a hacker embeds „malicious instructions in websites, emails, or other sources, to try to trick [an AI] agent into behaving in unintended ways.
