Meta is stepping up to reduce its dependence on Google and Microsoft by creating its own AI search engine. Soon, users on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook will be able to access real-time information through Meta’s “AI” chatbot, without relying on other search engines.
Currently, Meta’s chatbot delivers the latest news, stock market trends, and sports updates using data from Google and Bing. With this new search engine, Meta aims to provide users with direct information, marking a significant shift away from its reliance on competitors.
In the race for AI dominance, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft continue to compete fiercely. Google is integrating its “Gemini” AI model into its search engine, while OpenAI supports Microsoft’s Bing with AI-powered services for easy, quick answers. To enhance its information reliability, Meta has also partnered with Reuters, allowing its chatbot to display verified content for users’ questions.
The launch of Meta’s AI search engine has sparked conversation in the tech industry, though Meta has yet to reveal details about its model’s data sources and training process.
