OpenAI Introduces Task Scheduling Feature for ChatGPT
New 'Tasks' feature allows ChatGPT to perform time-specific actions for users
OpenAI has announced the introduction of a new feature for its ChatGPT platform, enabling the AI chatbot to perform tasks at a specified future time.
This 'Tasks' feature is currently being tested and will be progressively rolled out to subscribers of its Plus, Team, and Pro plans globally.
According to OpenAI, this advancement is a step towards making ChatGPT a more versatile AI companion, capable of handling various user tasks such as setting one-time reminders or scheduling recurring actions like weekly news updates or daily weather reports.
The announcement comes amid growing discussions about the burgeoning role of AI tools in everyday life.
OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, expressed confidence in the foreseeable development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), projected to bolster AI capabilities significantly.
AGI refers to an advanced form of AI that can autonomously execute a wide range of tasks with human-level or superior performance.
Altman indicated that such developments could lead to the integration of AI agents into the workforce by the end of 2025.
The ongoing integration and expansion of AI technologies have sparked debates about their potential implications on employment.
Some industry observers worry about job displacement, although many AI proponents and tech firms claim their primary goal is to augment human efforts rather than replace them.
In line with these advancements, the UK Government recently revealed its AI Opportunities Action Plan.
The plan aims to position the UK as a leader in AI innovation and integration.
Key initiatives include streamlining administrative processes in the public sector through AI-enhanced tools and establishing AI 'growth zones' to facilitate developments in digital infrastructure and energy resource access.
