Report: OpenAI to launch its AI-powered search engine a day before Google I/O

OpenAI is set to launch its AI-powered search engine on May 13, a day before Google's I/O conference, aiming to compete directly with Google Search. The launch follows reports of the new product's capabilities to integrate ChatGPT responses with cited online sources, enhancing user queries with detailed answers and images.

Google, in response, is enhancing its own search services by integrating its Gemini AI models and testing new features with its Search Generative Experience. Amid these developments, Google is also reportedly considering making some of its AI-driven search features a paid service, marking significant advancements in AI integration within search technologies.
