ChatGPT’s Impact on the Giant Tech Companies: Google, Microsoft, and Baidu

ChatGPT, OpenAI's creation has accelerated a race to launch next-gen search engines

When ChatGPT first came out, many people proclaimed that Google's days as the top search engine were over because of its capacity to simplify difficult issues and explain things in a way that was human-like. That may or may not be true, but ChatGPT has had a significant impact on the market. Microsoft is intending to include ChatGPT in its products in addition to pulling out all the stops in terms of investment, recognizing the technology's limitless potential. These are but a few examples; the AI chatbot's influence is far broader. We can see ChatGPT's impact on the giant tech companies Today, we look at how the larger industry is adjusting to its arrival.

Google raises the stakes Against ChatGPT

Whereas Google responds to your searches with a list of internet links, ChatGPT goes above and beyond by offering information in concise, understandable terms. The capacity to create content from scratch should be added. Although there is still more to be done to improve the technology, Google is on the verge of making a move. According to reports, the company activated "code red" because it was concerned that the AI chatbot might hurt its search operations. According to a report from The New York Times, Google has asked its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin for assistance in fending off the threat posed by AI. According to reports, the pair have given their approval to proposals and ideas to give Google chatbot features. They also provided guidance to business executives who were changing preexisting plans and increasing investment in AI development. The company intends to introduce more than 20 new artificial intelligence products, including a chatbot-enabled Google. 

Even if the concept of using chatbots in search is novel, Google won't be the first to use it. Search engines like You.com and NeevaAI have already defeated Google in this contest, despite the fact that both of them are still in the beta testing phase. Google, which currently has billions of users and is the market leader in terms of search engines, is unlikely to implement the technology until it is more certain of its accuracy. This is demonstrated by the fact that Google has been utilizing language model technology for a number of years as part of their LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) project, albeit in a less showy fashion.

Microsoft continues to invest in ChatGPT and AI

Microsoft and ChatGPT are less antagonistic to one another. The Redmond-based corporation gave OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, a $1 billion investment in 2019 and another $2 billion over the following years. The $3 billion was spent on the enormous amount of processing power that OpenAI required in order to create the chatbot. The business recently said that it would invest another $10 billion, but this time over a number of years. Less than a week earlier, the corporation had announced it was firing 10,000 employees due to the weak economy. Microsoft is finally in a position to compete against major tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Apple because of the ChatGPT edge. In an effort to lure customers away from Google, the corporation is getting ready to integrate the chatbot into its Bing search engine.

Baidu Plans for an AI Chatbot for its Search Engine

In March, Baidu plans to roll out an AI chatbot for its search engine.

Microsoft, Google, and Baidu, the dominant search engine in China, are all trying to release their AI chatbots in what may be a race to establish the foundation for the search engines of the future. According to a Sunday Bloomberg article, Baidu is developing a native search engine application in the ChatGPT format. Starting in March, this will become available.
