Dear MEL Topic Readers,
ChatGPT can now ‘think’ and ‘act’ for you after a new update
Gone are the days when we searched the Internet to find information for
our studies, work, or interests. But nowadays, if you ask an AI tool like ChatGPT,
Gemini, Copilot, or DeepSeek, it’ll look up the Internet or database and find information
specific to your needs, compile it, and present it to you. No need to search or
study, just ask a question or give instructions to AI. Recently, the frontrunner
of the AI race, ChatGPT, added a new feature that performs tasks like a user’s
personal agent. The new agent mode thinks and acts like the user and handles
complex action-oriented requests. For example, if you tell the agent to plan a barbecue
dinner for four, it’ll show you the menu, recipes, and ingredients. However,
such functionality poses new risks, such as personal information leakage,
inappropriate emails or announcements, or financial mistransactions. But AI is becoming
smarter and more helpful as we use it. When will we have a humanoid household
robot that prepares the next meal based on our health conditions, activities, food
stock, and the meals that we’ve had in the last week or two?
Read the article and think of what you might want your personal agent to
do for you.
