According to the source, OpenAI has recently been thinking about developing an Internet browser that could integrate with ChatGPT, and has also separately discussed or made deals to create search functions. OpenAI has discussed the possibility of creating a search product with website and app developers such as Conde Nast, Redfin, Eventbrite and Priceline, The Information claims, citing people who have seen prototypes or designs of the products.
As it became known this week, US authorities are seriously persuading Google to separate the Chrome browser from its core business. In this sense, OpenAI’s proposed efforts to enter the search engine and Internet browser market could help increase competition in this area. Google introduced its Gemini chatbot last year to compete with OpenAI’s rapidly gaining popularity ChatGPT. Now we can assume that the latter, from the point of view of competitive development, is moving in the opposite direction.
Separately, it is reported that OpenAI has begun negotiations with Samsung regarding the integration of its AI functions on devices of this South Korean brand. Until now, Samsung has relied primarily on cooperation with Google in this area. Trying to catch up with competitors in the field of AI, Apple also agreed with OpenAI to borrow technology. One way or another, The Information notes that OpenAI is now very far from launching its own Internet browser, and we have to talk about this prospect mainly theoretically.
