This development comes at a time when Google, the dominant player in internet search, has started implementing AI into its search products. AI startups like Perplexity are also looking to challenge Google’s dominance. The integration of OpenAI’s chatbot with real-time information and citations from the web could help address the issue of reliability, a persistent problem AI bots face when presenting information.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI is set to announce an AI-powered search engine for its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT, which is expected to increase competition with Google.
- The AI search tool will be embedded within ChatGPT and will source information directly from the internet, providing citations when answering user queries.
- The search tool will be partly powered by Microsoft’s Bing search engine, and one version of the product will use images or diagrams alongside text when responding to questions.
- OpenAI's integration of real-time information and citations from the web could help resolve reliability issues often faced by AI chatbots when presenting information.
