OpenAI is reportedly planning to release an AI-powered web browser to compete with Google Chrome, aiming to change internet surfing with artificial intelligence.
The browser is expected to launch in the coming weeks and could pose a threat to Google Chrome, known for its dominant market position and data collection for ad targeting.
OpenAI's browser is designed to incorporate a native chat interface similar to ChatGPT, possibly impacting Google's ad business if ChatGPT users transition to the new browser.
OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, gained prominence with ChatGPT and aims to expand its AI services, recently acquiring io to create AI devices. This move comes as competition in AI-powered browsers grows with companies like Perplexity, Brave, and The Browser Company entering the race.
