The Facts

• Artificial Intelligence giant OpenAI is testing a new search engine, SearchGPT, in a move that will see it compete with market leader Google.

• SearchGPT, a prototype combining OpenAI's AI models with information on the web, is initially being launched only to a limited group of users and publishers.

• OpenAI has stated that SearchGPT will provide "up-to-date information," unlike its AI-based chatbot ChatGPT, which often skips current events.
