OpenAI, known for its advanced AI technology, is reportedly in the process of developing a new search engine to rival Google. This search engine, named ChatGPT search engine, is anticipated to combine the traditional web search capabilities with the AI prowess of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The company recently registered a new domain, search.chatgpt.com, and obtained a security certificate, hinting at the imminent launch of the search engine.
Speculations suggest that the ChatGPT search engine will utilize AI-generated content alongside relevant web page links to provide users with comprehensive search results. Additionally, the incorporation of advertisements in the search engine is expected to create a new revenue stream for OpenAI. While the user interface of the search engine may vary across devices, similarities can be drawn to Microsoft’s Copilot, powered by GPT-4 and Bing search engine.
Google currently dominates the search engine market, holding nearly 90% of the market share. To counter this, Google is reportedly considering introducing premium features on its generative AI-driven search engine. With OpenAI entering the search engine domain, competition among tech giants like Google and Microsoft is expected to intensify as they incorporate AI capabilities into their products.
It will be interesting to see how OpenAI’s ChatGPT search engine disrupts the market and how existing players like Google respond to this new competition. Stay tuned for the potential launch of OpenAI’s innovative search engine on 9 May as the tech industry braces for further advancements in AI-powered technologies.
