In fact, the AI search engine segment is heating up as OpenAI (the maker of ChatGPT), Google and Microsoft are all competing to dominate this rapidly growing market.
Meta's website data collection tool will provide users with answers to chat about events on Meta AI, the company's chatbot on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.
Meta is now relying on Google and Bing search engines to provide users with answers about news, stocks and sports.
Google is also actively integrating its latest and more powerful AI model, Gemini, into core products such as Search. Their goal is to provide a more intuitive and negotiable search experience.
Meanwhile, OpenAI relies on its largest investor, Microsoft, for access to websites to answer topical queries, using the Bing search engine.
However, collecting website data to train AI models and search engines has raised concerns about copyright infringement and fair compensation for content creators.
Previously, Meta representatives said that their AI chatbot will use content from the world's largest international news agency - Reuters to answer users' real-time questions about news and current events.
