Microsoft is allegedly working to promote a version of its search engine Bing, powered by the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT of OpenAI. This rumor comes from a report published by The Information citing sources knowledgeable on the subject.
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-driven natural language processing tool that lets you have human-like conversations with a chatbot. This tool can answer questions and assist with specific tasks such as writing code and creating long-form content. The tool became available for general testing on November 30, 2022.

Microsoft, on the other hand, may release Bing with ChatGPT before the end of March. With this move, the company hopes to challenge Google’s dominance of the search engine market. According to Statcounter, Google has a 92.21% share of the market as of December 2022, while Bing has only 3.42%.
Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI to support AI creation in 2019. The two then formed a multi-year partnership to create new Azure AI supercomputing technologies. In 2022, Microsoft brought OpenAI’s rendering software, DALL∙E 2, to Azure OpenAI, allowing users to create images via text or image input. If the ChatGPT and Bing collaboration also becomes a reality, it will be proof that the partnership is going even further.
