Microsoft has announced a revamp of its Bing search engine and Edge web browser powered by artificial intelligence, weeks after it confirmed plans to invest billions in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.
With the updates, Bing will not only provide a list of search results, but will also answer questions, chat with users and generate content in response to user queries, Microsoft said at a press event at its Redmond, Washington headquarters.
The updates come as the viral success of ChatGPT has sparked a wave of interest in AI chatbot tools.

Google has unveiled Bard, its ChatGPT rival that leverages LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), Google's language model. The announcement comes days after CEO Sundar Pichai revealed its development during an earnings call.
Before the call, Google management called ChatGPT "code red" as the AI-powered platform received positive responses from users worldwide. In a blog post, Google says that it is opening Bard up to "trusted testers" ahead of making it more widely available to the public in the coming weeks. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is available to test for free. It recently clocked 100 million users in just two months.
Currently, Google Bard is not available for testing to the public, but select users have access. Google is releasing a "lightweight model version of LaMDA," which requires significantly less computing power. This will allow Google to receive more feedback.
Google has been working on its language model for a while, but the company paused its public rollout after allegations from its employee. Google CEO Pichai indicated during the latest earnings call that the world is ready for generative AI, following the positive reception towards ChatGPT. He added, "I feel comfortable with all the investments we have made in making sure we can develop AI responsibly and we'll be careful."
