OpenAI has equipped its ChatGPT generative AI chatbot with search engine capabilities, the first step in Google’s decades-long dominance of the web search engine.
According to media reports, the company said the upgrade enables users to “get faster and more timely answers with relevant web links, including information that previously required the use of traditional search engines.”
This upgrade to ChatGPT enables the AI chatbot to provide accurate information from across the web.
ChatGPT’s homepage will now also offer live tabs on topics ranging from weather forecasts and stock prices to sports scores and breaking news, the company said.
It will link to news and data from providers that have signed content agreements with OpenAI, including France’s Le Monde, Germany’s Axel Springer and the United Kingdom’s Financial Times.
