Microsoft to add artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT, to search products

Microsoft is revamping its search products with more artificial intelligence, including the wildly popular ChatGPT, as tech companies race to take advantage of increasingly powerful AI tools. The company detailed its plans at a special event on Tuesday, saying it would work with OpenAI, the startup behind the ChatGPT tool, to upgrade its Bing search engine and Edge web browser and enhance the information available. The announcement comes a day after Google revealed it is releasing its own artificial intelligence chatbot, called Bard, in response to the huge success of ChatGPT. Microsoft is staking its future on AI through billions of dollars of investment and seeking to capitalize on the worldwide excitement surrounding ChatGPT, a tool that's awakened millions of people to the possibilities of the latest AI technology, and is already changing how people gather information. "This technology is going to reshape pretty much every software category," said Satya Nadella, the chief executive of Microsoft, in a briefing for reporters at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
