Meta Reportedly Developing Its Own Search Engine – Powered by Artificial Intelligence

Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is now reportedly developing its own search engine, powered by artificial intelligence. This move will also reduce the dependence of Meta and its users on Google and Bing search engines by Microsoft.

With this step, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook users can continue to ask Meta AI about various current developments, and receive answers without having to leave the application. Meta itself has previously reportedly started working with news publishing companies for this purpose.

This step will also reduce Meta's dependence on third parties such as Google and Bing in obtaining information related to news, sports, and stocks.

Besides Meta, OpenAI is also developing an artificial intelligence-powered search engine called SearchGPT – but the answers given are sometimes hallucinatory, and inaccurate.
