For decades, Microsoft was unable to “reinvent” the browser, sticking to its obsolete Internet Explorer until it got replaced by Edge, based on Google’s Chromium.
But now, according to the tech dinosaur, it is nothing less than “reinventing” both Bing, its search engine, and Edge, by making them “AI-powered.” It is an undertaking Microsoft is carrying out together with OpenAI.
Microsoft is a major investor (the figure reportedly runs into billions) in OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab, so it’s no surprise they would be partnering to “innovate.”
And they are doing it “responsibly,” meaning that, “safeguards to defend against harmful content” and “address issues such as misinformation and disinformation (…) and preventing the promotion of harmful or discriminatory content” will be implemented.
