Meta Develop AI Search Engine To Reduce Dependence On Google And Bing

JAKARTA - Meta Platforms Inc., reportedly developing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based search engine as a step to reduce its dependence on Alphabet and Microsoft's Google Bing. This was reported by The Information on Monday, October 28.

The move puts Meta in competition in the increasingly tight AI-based search engine market, competing with ChatGPT from OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft who are also trying to become leaders in this fast-growing sector.

This Meta search engine will later provide users with an answer to the conversation about the latest events via Meta AI, the company's chatbot available on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.

Currently, Meta still relies on Google and Bing search engines to provide answers to news, stock markets, and sports to its users.

Meta has not yet responded to requests for comment from the media regarding this development.
