Meta Platforms is making strides in the realm of artificial intelligence with the development of its own search engine, aiming to decrease its dependency on industry giants like Google and Bing. According to a report by The Information, the tech giant is venturing into the AI search engine space to carve out its own niche in the market.
Competition in the AI Search Engine Sector
The competition in the AI search engine sector is fierce, with major players such as OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft all competing for a share of the market. Meta's upcoming web crawler is poised to offer users conversational responses to queries regarding current events on Meta AI platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.
Currently, Meta relies on Google and Bing for search engine capabilities to provide users with information on news, stocks, and sports. However, with the development of its own AI search engine, Meta is set to reduce its reliance on external providers.
Integration of AI Models
Google has been actively integrating its latest AI model, Gemini, into its core products like Search to deliver more interactive and intuitive search experiences.
The process of scraping web data to train AI models and search engines has raised concerns regarding copyright infringement and fair compensation for content creators.
At the same time, OpenAI leverages its partnership with Microsoft and access to Bing's search engine for answering topical queries using AI models.
Utilization of Reuters Content
Meta recently announced that its AI chatbot will utilize Reuters content to provide real-time answers to user queries about news and current events.
As the AI search engine landscape continues to evolve, Meta's entry into the market signifies a shift towards greater autonomy and innovation in the tech industry.
