Joanna Stern on Microsoft’s New AI-Powered Bing
Joanna Stern interviewed Satya Nadella about Microsoft’s OpenAI-powered improvements to Bing and Edge (News+ link):
“We are grounded in the fact that Google dominates this [search]
space,” Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella told me in an
interview. “A new race is starting with a completely new platform
technology. I’m excited for users to have a choice finally.”
Google — which holds 93% of the global search engine market
share, according to analytics company StatCounter — is on
Microsoft’s heels. On Monday, the search company said it is
working on Bard, a similar chat tool that generates responses from
web-based information.
Again, you’d be a fool to count Google out in this race. But shipping talks and bullshit walks. Microsoft is opening up the new Bing to real people now. Not so with Bard.
