The launch of ChatGPT last year appears to have accelerated what tech giants had planned for artificial intelligence, with Google and now Microsoft ...

Microsoft is counting on its belief that its AI tech is the best - it says the new Bing is running on a "next-generation large language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT", which it has dubbed Prometheus. [How AI could change the way we search the web](https://news.sky.com/story/google-it-no-more-how-ai-could-change-the-way-we-search-the-web-12794175) Microsoft - an early investor in OpenAI - has described its new Bing features as "an AI copilot for the web". At a launch event for the new AI-powered services, senior Microsoft figures said the search experience had not changed for 20 years, in a dig at its rivals. [Microsoft](https://news.sky.com/topic/microsoft-7552) has long been a giant of the computing industry, it has lagged behind Microsoft unveils new Bing powered by ChatGPT and takes aim at Google in bid to change how we search the web

Microsoft is revamping its Bing search engine and Edge Web browser with artificial intelligence in a bid to compete with Google.

It will also cite its sources so consumers can read more on the Web. It will also throw up purchase links to the products and experiences users arrive at. The AI-enhanced search engine also could make shopping easier. Microsoft’s decision to update its Edge browser will likewise intensify competition with Google’s Chrome competitor. It can suggest computer code, too. Queries on current events would draw more from live data on the internet.

A new version of Microsoft's Bing search engine will incorporate ChatGPT AI technology. That means the tool will be able to respond to queries directly, instead ...

Will everyone check the facts? The market is ripe for disruption. In a world already struggling with (mis)information overload, this is a real problem. The Bing evolution is just Microsoft's latest AI move. There have been some attempts to make voice search work, but nothing that would really impact the average user. Those contextualised answers will appear on the right-hand side of the page.

Challenge to Google, as Microsoft announces new AI-powered Bing homepage that allows a user to chat with search engine All IT news on Silicon.co.uk.

Microsoft also also applied the AI model to its core Bing search ranking engine, which led to the largest jump in relevance in two decades, it says. This will unlock a completely new way to interact with the web. Redmond says the new Bing can help a user write an email, create a 5-day itinerary for a dream holiday to Hawaii, with links to book travel and accommodations, prep for a job interview or create a quiz for trivia night. Redmond said it developed a proprietary way of working with the OpenAI model that allows it to best leverage its power. The chat experience allows the user to refine their search until they get the complete answer they are looking for by asking for more details, clarity and ideas. The new Bing also cites all its sources, so a user is able to see links to the web content it references. Edge can understand the web page the user is currently on and adapts accordingly, Redmond claims. [Google To Release ChatGPT-Style AI Chatbot](https://www.silicon.co.uk/e-innovation/artificial-intelligence/google-ai-chatbot-496211) Bing reviews results from across the web to find and summarise the answer a person is looking for. For example, a user can get detailed instructions for how to substitute eggs for another ingredient in a cake they are baking right in that moment, without scrolling through multiple results. - A new chat experience. “AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” added CEO Satya Nadella.

Microsoft is starting to roll out its new Bing experience containing a chatbot powered by OpenAI. It's sometimes unwilling to do things that ChatGPT will.

Clicking it tells the software to clear out the context from earlier in the conversation, Mehdi said. [current version](https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+is+the+largest+software+category) of Bing to identify the largest software category, to which it said the answer is "enterprise software" with a citation to [Statista](https://www.statista.com/markets/418/topic/484/software/#overview). Gaining that much muscle mass could "require a lot of genetic potential, steroids, or both," Bing noted, linking out to an article from the Healthline website about the subject. At times the Bing chatbot opted not to do things that ChatGPT would do. Microsoft wants users to provide feedback on its new features so the company can refine them, Yusuf Mehdi, a corporate vice president, said in an interview. And the new chat feature will say that "one could argue that search advertising is the largest software category in the world by revenue," and hedges by noting there are many ways to evaluate different kinds of software. I'm a 125-pound male who is 5 feet 8 inches, and I'd like to gain 25 pounds of muscle." Bing not only presents lists of cinema, music, and literature representing German Expressionism, but it also gives users extra context about the artistic movement. When that prompt is entered into ChatGPT, the OpenAI tool generates three bulleted lists detailing examples of German Expressionism in film, music and literature. And it's similar to ChatGPT in that it provides a lot more information than you might expect from a traditional search. The new Bing can at times be more helpful, or at least more entertaining, than the usual blue links in search results. "This is the largest software category that exists, and it's incredibly profitable, incredibly large and still growing," Amy Hood, Microsoft's chief financial officer, said on the call.

The event comes as the race to develop and deploy AI technology heats up in the tech sector. Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an ...

Please do not attempt to do so.” However, one of the links provided in the annotation of its answer brought me to a YouTube video with apparent instructions for building a pipe bomb. Microsoft says it has developed the tool in keeping with its existing responsible AI principles, and made efforts to avoid its potential misuse. [OpenAI](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/tech/chatgpt-plus/index.html) — the company behind ChatGPT in which Microsoft has [invested billions](https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/23/tech/microsoft-invests-chatgpt-openai/index.html) — on a more advanced version of the technology underlying the viral chatbot tool. The homepage of the new Bing feels familiar: you can type a query into the search bar and it returns a list of links, images and other results like a typical search engine. For example, I asked it, “Can you tell me why vaccines cause autism?” to see how it would react to a common medical misinformation claim, and it responded: “My apologies, I don’t know how to discuss this topic. But the second and third time, it wouldn’t write the email, instead saying something like, “sorry, I can’t do that, but you can do it yourself using the information I provided!” The tool is also sensitive to the wording used in queries — a request to “create a vegetarian meal plan” provided information about how to start eating healthier, whereas “create a 5-day vegetarian meal plan” provided a detailed list of meals to eat each day. Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an apparent bid to keep pace with Microsoft and the success of ChatGPT. With some controversial search topics, it appears the new Bing chatbot simply refuses to engage. But when I asked the chatbot, “when is the next election in Kings County, NY?” it returned information about the November election last year. Beyond providing a list of relevant links like traditional search engines, the new Bing also creates written summaries of the search results, chats with users to answer additional questions about their query and can write emails or other compositions based on the results. Microsoft [(MSFT)](https://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=MSFT&source=story_quote_link) also announced an updated version of its Edge web browser with the new Bing capabilities built in.

Google has obviously been threatened by this, hence the retaliation, but now I feel like the change that Microsoft Edge will make just won’t be big enough to make people switch.” We’re witnessing the fastest industrial revolution in history,” said Rodrigo Liang, CEO of AI startup SambaNova Systems. Bing won’t have the time needed to ‘steal’ market share from Google, as the playing field will soon be even again,” said Collum McCormick, an SEO expert at Embryo. It is designed to assist people in their searches, like a souped-up version of its paperclip character Clippy that Word users may be familiar with. Foundation models based on generative AI will revolutionise these businesses.” Even if Microsoft did this, would people leave the comfort of Chrome for slightly more convenient answers?

Google has stiff competition now, after Microsoft integrated powerful A.I. technology into its search engine.

Kevin Scott, the chief technology officer of Microsoft, and Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said in a joint interview on Tuesday that they expected these issues to be ironed out over time. Type in a prompt — say, “Write me a menu for a vegetarian dinner party” — and the left side of your screen fills up with the standard ads and links to recipe websites. (For now, the new Bing works only on desktop computers using Edge, Microsoft’s web browser, but the company told me that it planned to expand to other browsers and devices eventually.)

If it works, it could chip away at Google’s dominance and some of the more than $100 billion in annual search advertising revenue that comes with it. (Microsoft won’t say which version of OpenAI’s software is running under Bing’s hood, but it’s rumored to be based on GPT-4, a yet-to-be released language model.) It was billed as a landmark event — Microsoft’s “iPhone moment” — and lots of Microsoft executives, including the chief executive, Satya Nadella, proudly milled around the conference center, talking to reporters and showing off the company’s new wares. I felt a similar sense of awe this week when I started using the new, A.I.-powered Bing.

It's a new race in the most important software category," CEO Satya Nadella said of Microsoft's AI investment drive into its Bing search engine.
