OpenAI’sChatGPTis one of the most well-known AI chatbots out there. It’s been making huge strides in theAI spacein recent years, and now more than ever, it has its eyes set on bestingGoogle’s Chrome. Now a new report fromThe Informationsuggests OpenAI is considering making a web browser, one that could rival Google Chrome’s market dominance.
When or if this web browser will happen is still up in the air, as it’s still in its very early stages – and it could be a long time before OpenAI launches it. But, the idea of a fully integrated web browser with ChatGPT sounds intriguing and potentially game-changing.
ChatGPT search goes live as OpenAI aims to challenge Google
OpenAI has launched its AI-powered search engine, ChatGPT search, and its integrated right into ChatGPT.
OpenAI should do it
ChatGPT’s AI features in a web browser could convince users to switch
OpenAI and Google are already racing each other with ChatGPT and Gemini, but OpenAI creating a web browser, coupled with its ownAI search enginewould be taking major shots at Google.
So far, we know that OpenAI has hired two staff members that played a major part in making Chrome for Google, Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher (viaTechRadar). According tostatcounter, Chrome holds a 66.7 percent share of the browser market worldwide, so hiring two key players previously involved with it seems like a decent first step.
There’s also been a recent report from a South Korean publication,The Korea Herald, that OpenAI is in talks with Samsung to integrate ChatGPT’s AI abilities into Samsung’s devices, like it recently did withApple Intelligence on iPhones. Samsung is a significant player in the Android ecosystem, and the tech giant has worked closely with Google for years. This would be another move from OpenAI that signals it’s willing to take on Google and its Gemini AI technology.
I think OpenAI should move forward with its web browser plans. Google is currently running into issues withChrome and the Department of Justice(DOJ), and with ChatGPT’s AI capabilities, OpenAI has the potential to make a significant dent in the tech giant’s browser market share.
Google being forced to sell off Chrome would be a major win for everybody
Google might be forced to sell its Chrome web browser, and that’s good news for everyone.
