OpenAI to take on Google with AI-powered search tool
OpenAI, a prominent artificial intelligence company, is preparing to launch its AI-powered search tool on Monday, according to Reuters. This unexpected announcement could escalate the competition with Google, the current leader in search technology. The decision to announce this development one day before Google's annual I/O conference may be a strategic move by OpenAI.
OpenAI's search tool to compete with Google and Perplexity AI
Backed by Microsoft, OpenAI is developing a search tool that aims to rival Google, owned by Alphabet, and Perplexity, an AI search startup with significant funding. This move could potentially intensify the competition in the realm of AI-powered search technology. The forthcoming tool is an extension of OpenAI's primary product, ChatGPT.
ChatGPT: OpenAI's innovative chatbot product
ChatGPT, an innovative chatbot product from OpenAI, uses advanced AI models to generate responses similar to human conversation in response to text prompts. The upcoming search tool is designed to enhance ChatGPT by enabling it to extract direct data from the web and include citations. Despite its potential as an alternative for online information gathering, ChatGPT has faced challenges in providing accurate and timely information from the web.
OpenAI's efforts to improve ChatGPT's web information delivery
To address the issue of delivering precise and timely web information, OpenAI had previously integrated ChatGPT with Microsoft's Bing for its paid subscribers. However, traffic on ChatGPT's website has experienced fluctuations over the past year. Amid these variations, OpenAI is under pressure to expand its user base. Despite some hurdles, the upcoming search tool could potentially include images along with written responses to queries where applicable.
