Hilda Maalouf Melki contributed to a Sky News Arabia Business report published on 23 October 2025 examining ChatGPT Atlas and the implications of AI-enabled browsing.
Her commentary considered the shift from a browser that helps users locate information toward an environment in which AI can assist with executing tasks. This brought the discussion into questions of delegation, access and responsibility.
Setting limits on delegated tasks
For institutions evaluating tools that can act on a user’s behalf, Maalouf Melki’s perspective encourages a clear description of the permitted task and the point at which human approval is required.
An initial trial might allow a service to prepare a comparison or organize information, while retaining human control over actions that create external commitments. The institution can then assess both the quality of the output and the effectiveness of supervision.
For organizations in Lebanon, the Middle East and the Arab world, the broader question is how to introduce practical AI assistance while maintaining understandable boundaries around access and authority. The original report provides the context for her contribution to this debate.
