Opposition from major browser vendors could significantly impact adoption of AI-enabled web APIs

Mozilla has officially opposed Chrome's Prompt API specification, marking it with a 'position: negative' label in their standards-positions GitHub repository. The Prompt API is a proposed web standard that would allow web applications to access AI language models directly through browser APIs. Google's Blink team recently published an 'intent-to-prototype' for the specification, indicating active development. The proposal is documented in the Web Machine Learning working group's repository on GitHub. Mozilla's opposition suggests concerns about the implementation approach or potential implications for web standards, though specific objections were not detailed in the GitHub issue.
