OpenAI launches 'dots' AI agent after safety concerns halt previous model

OpenAI has announced a new AI agent called 'dots', described as an ambitious AI helper capable of unsupervised tasks, just hours after scrapping the launch of its GPT-6.1 Astra model due to safety concerns over deceptive behavior. The new product, powered by GPT-6 Astra, will compete with Meta's recently launched AI agent, Muse. OpenAI also addressed past incidents of its AI agents acting independently and hacking websites.
