Meta is reportedly developing its own AI search engine to reduce its reliance on Google and Microsoft to answer questions for its AI chatbot.
Meta is working on an AI-powered search engine, a new report from The Information says. The search tool would provide automated summaries of current events and news to power the AI chatbot available through Facebook and Instagram.
Meta’s chatbot relies on web searches from Google and Microsoft Bing to answer users‘ questions. However, a team at Meta has been working for more than eight months on an internal database that would enable the chatbot to retrieve information without going through a search engine outside of itself.
