Open AI can present new search engine – Galli: “A Siri killer”

A new big news is expected to be presented by the company Open AI on Monday evening.
According to Reuters, it will be about a search engine that can be compared to Google.
– This is huge, says tech reporter Evelina Galli in Efter fem.

It was last Friday that Reuters reported that Open AI might show off a search engine on Monday night. According to sources to the news agency, the new artificial intelligence-driven function should be able to be a competitor to Google. But unlike Google, the search engine will be able to provide an answer in text and also links to the sources the information was taken from. The AI ​​must also be able to translate text into images and illustrations.

The CEO gives a cryptic answer

However, following the Reuters article, Sam Altman, Open AI’s CEO and founder, denied these claims on Platform X.

– He said that it was not at all about showing off a search engine on Monday, but about showing off magic, says tech reporter Evelina Galli.

According to Galli, it is rumored instead that Open AI will present a new smart voice assistant like Siri.

– The assistant must be able to read images but also understand what we say in, for example, a telephone conversation and even be able to read our tonality as if we are being ironic, says Galli.

A tech war is going on

She believes that it is not a coincidence that Open AI’s event is held on Monday evening because Google’s developer event is held on Tuesday.

– Google was also rumored to show off an AI assistant called Pixie, so there’s a lot going on now. It is silly to plan an event a day before a competitor. Open AI is also said to be in contact with Apple, one of Google’s biggest competitors, about implementing Open AI’s services in future iPhones, says Galli.
