OpenAI is set to launch its AI-powered search engine in a direct challenge to Google, with the unveiling scheduled for this Monday, according to reports from Business Standard.
The parent company of ChatGPT, in partnership with Microsoft, plans to introduce the new search product just a day before Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O 2024. This move is seen as a strategic decision to steal the spotlight from Google and its major announcements.
The upcoming search service will leverage artificial intelligence to provide users with detailed responses to their queries, including information from various online sources like news articles, blog posts, and Wikipedia. Additionally, users can expect relevant images to be displayed based on their search queries.
While the launch date is tentative and OpenAI has refrained from providing official comments, the introduction of this new AI-powered search engine marks a significant step in the ongoing rivalry between OpenAI and Google.
Following the success of ChatGPT, which garnered 100 million monthly active users soon after its launch, OpenAI has been working on enhancing its capabilities to provide real-time information. The introduction of ChatGPT plug-ins aimed to address this need but was ultimately discontinued in April due to various reasons.
As the tech world eagerly anticipates OpenAI’s upcoming search engine, industry experts are closely watching how this new development will impact the search engine market and the competition between OpenAI and Google. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the coming days.
