Yusuf Mehdi, the corporate vice president of Microsoft's modern life, search and devices group, announced the milestone in a Wednesday blog post. The update comes about a month after the company released a new version of Bing that features an artificial intelligence chatbot. The chatbot, which Microsoft developed in collaboration with OpenAI LLC, can generate elaborate natural language responses to user questions.

Who'd have thought anyone would use Bing in 2023? Bing has crossed 100 million daily active users a month after the launch of its chatbot AI, according to Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's VP for Modern Life, Search and Devices. He said the company is fully aware it's still just "a small, low, single-digit share player," but hey, there was a time when Bing wasn't even a part of the conversation. Around a third of Bing's daily preview users have been using its chat AI for their queries. On average, Microsoft is seeing three chats per session, with over 45 million chats since it introduced the new Bing.

Bing has crossed 100 million daily active users a month after the launch of its chatbot AI, according to Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's VP for Modern Life, Search and Devices. He said the company is fully aware that it's still just "a small, low, single digit share player," but hey, there was a time when Bing wasn't even a part of the conversation. Now, after the tech giant released its next-gen version, even those who haven't used it in the past are relying on it for their searches: Mehdi noted that one-third of Bing's daily active users are new to the search engine. "We see this appeal of the new Bing as a validation of our view that search is due for a reinvention and of the unique value proposition of combining Search Answers Chat Creation in one experience," the VP said. In addition to seeing a boost in numbers, Microsoft is also apparently enjoying a growth in engagement, with more people conducting more searches. The company credits two factors for that particular victory, the first being Edge's growth in usage, most likely aided by the addition of Bing's chat AI as a new feature.

Facebook said it will shut down its face-recognition system and delete the faceprints of more than 1 billion people. "This change will represent one of the largest shifts in facial recognition usage in the technology's history," said a blog post Tuesday from Jerome Pesenti, vice president of artificial intelligence for Facebook's new parent company, Meta. "More than a third of Facebook's daily active users have opted in to our Face Recognition setting and are able to be recognized, and its removal will result in the deletion of more than a billion people's individual facial recognition templates." He said the company was trying to weigh the positive use cases for the technology "against growing societal concerns, especially as regulators have yet to provide clear rules." More than a third of Facebook's daily active users have opted in to have their faces recognized by the social network's system.

Research firm IDC estimates that global revenue from artificial-intelligence hardware, software, and services will climb roughly 12% annually to reach $156.5 billion this year, and spending is expected to accelerate as coronavirus-related pressures ease. The firm projects a compound annual growth rate of roughly 17.1% for the category across the five-year period spanning from 2020 through 2024. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to influence almost every industry, and the overall economic impact of the tech will exceed what's spent on hardware, software, and services many times over. The great news for investors is that the artificial intelligence revolution is still in its early innings, and the beneficial impact that it will have for industry leaders is still underappreciated. With that in mind, here's why Appian (NASDAQ: APPN), Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX), and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) are three top AI stocks to buy this month.

This is part 4 of a 5 part series on Advanced KPIs. One of the key challenges in mobile gaming is retaining users in a world where there are so many games competing for their attention. When engagement and retention are your critical challenges, you need a KPI that captures the essence of both. All games track the total number of unique users active everyday, known as Daily Active Users, and the total number of unique users active in a given month, known as Monthly Active Users, but alone neither capture the frequency of use or retention of users. To that end, many mobile gaming companies divide their average Daily Active Users (DAUs) by their Monthly Active Users (MAUs) to create a KPI called DAU/MAU.
