Microsoft announced an event on February 7 where it will reveal “progress on a few exciting projects,” with Bing’s ChatGPT infusion expected to be part of the shared updates.
At 10:00 a.m. PT on February 7, Microsoft will host an event that will “share progress on some exciting projects” by CEO Satya Nadella. The edge notes that event invites were first sent out last week for in-person events, but Microsoft just made the official announcement today.
The event will not be broadcast live.
It comes just minutes after Google publicly revealed Bard, an AI that integrates with search and can display information like a chatbot.
Microsoft Bing’s integration with ChatGPT is widely expected, and apparently confirmed given the timing. Over the past few years, Microsoft has invested heavily in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and has been rumored to have been working on bringing the technology behind ChatGPT into Bing for some time.
Just last week, several users saw Microsoft Bing revamped with ChatGPT functionality for a brief period, making it possible to search through a chat box while sources were cited and information was distributed in style of a chatbot. It looks remarkably similar to what Google showed today. This brief overview strongly hinted that, like Google, Microsoft might limit access to this AI-enhanced version of Bing at first.
