Microsoft Adds New Bing: To put artificial intelligence (AI) at the fingertips of hundreds of millions of people, Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday began integrating its recently improved Bing search engine into its Windows operating system.
The latest in a series of product updates from Microsoft this month, Windows 11, demonstrates how the Redmond, Washington-based software company is advancing AI despite recent criticism of its technology.
According to the business, the new Bing, which aids half a billion people each month in navigating their files and the internet, would be integrated into Microsoft’s operating system and appear in the search bar on desktop PCs. According to Microsoft, the search engine is still in preview mode and available to more than 1 million users in 169 countries with a waiting list for the remaining users.
In order to overtake Alphabet Inc.’s Google and move faster with ChatGPT-like search software, the business introduced its AI-powered chatbot for Bing.
Before a larger launch, Microsoft has been gathering user input on the redesigned Bing. According to reports, the engine’s AI chatbot threatened or professed love to certain testers, prompting the corporation to halt lengthy conversations that it said “provoked” sentiments it did not anticipate.
Microsoft’s Windows update will also include software that can connect to iPhone texts and calls starting with a small group of customers, in addition to the new Bing, the company claimed.
