OpenAI has announced the launch of its new AI-driven search engine, SearchGPT. This innovative tool aims to capture a significant market share in the competitive Google search market, leveraging advanced artificial intelligence to deliver enhanced search capabilities.

OpenAI has announced that it is working on a search engine powered by artificial intelligence.

This move is intended to secure a significant market share in the search engine industry, particularly against Google.

OpenAI stated that SearchGPT will initially launch with a small group of users and publishers, with plans for a potentially broader rollout in the future.

The company ultimately plans to integrate these search features into ChatGPT rather than offering them as a standalone product.

OpenAI described SearchGPT as a temporary prototype that combines the company's AI models, like ChatGPT, with the ability to search the internet.

This prototype will provide up-to-date information with 'open links' to relevant sources while responding to queries in a conversational style. The search feature positions the company as a direct competitor to major search engines like Google and Bing, which is owned by OpenAI's largest investor, Microsoft.

In a blog post, OpenAI stated, "Finding answers on the web can be effortful and often requires multiple attempts to get relevant results."

They described this feature as 'a new way to search,' adding, 'We believe that by enhancing our models' conversational abilities with real-time information from the web, finding what you're looking for could become faster and easier.'

According to The Guardian, there is a risk of increased backlash from publishers regarding how SearchGPT presents information and cites sources, based on how OpenAI uses content.

OpenAI mentioned that it is collaborating with publishers for SearchGPT and offering them options regarding how their content appears in search results. The company also emphasized its goal of promoting reliable sources.
