OpenAI has announced the launch of 'deep research', a tool that can generate reports comparable to those of a research analyst.
The tool, powered by OpenAI's latest model o3, can find, analyze, and synthesize information from hundreds of online sources to create comprehensive reports in a fraction of the time it would take a human.
Deep research is considered a significant step towards OpenAI's goal of developing artificial general intelligence, capable of matching or exceeding human performance in intellectual tasks.
However, experts raise concerns about the need for retrospective checks on the accuracy of the tool's analysis, as relying solely on the output could lead to potential errors.
