Microsoft Schedules News Event for Tuesday as Company Accelerates AI Investments

Microsoft Corp.  has scheduled a news event at 10 a.m. local time Tuesday at its Redmond, Washington, headquarters as the software maker is said to be working on integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot into Microsoft’s Bing search engine.

(Bloomberg) — Microsoft Corp.  has scheduled a news event at 10 a.m. local time Tuesday at its Redmond, Washington, headquarters as the software maker is said to be working on integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot into Microsoft’s Bing search engine.

The company didn’t disclose the content of the event in an invitation to reporters, but said it will “share some progress on a few exciting projects.” Microsoft has been accelerating investments in artificial intelligence and competition in the field of generative AI — named for the ability to generate new content from digital troves of text, photos and art — is heating up.

Microsoft has been preparing to add ChatGPT to Bing to offer better, more precise answers to queries, rather than a list of links, in a yet another bid to take some market share from Google’s highly dominant search engine, a person familiar with the matter said last month.
