When Meta first announced its Meta AI chatbot in September last year, it explained how it would be using web search results from Bing to help expand its responses: "In text-based chats, Meta AI has access to real-time information through our search partnership with Bing and offers a tool for image generation." This partnership underscores Meta's intent to leverage external resources for improving its AI capabilities.
As Meta Platforms tries to keep up with OpenAI in developing artificial intelligence, the Facebook owner is working on a search engine that crawls the web to provide conversational answers about current events to people using its Meta AI chatbot. This signifies a strategic move to bolster its AI functions and potentially diminish dependency on other competitors.
Conceptually, that would give Meta an alternative, in case Microsoft or Google, both of whom are competing with Meta on generative AI development, decided to end their search deals. This foresight exemplifies Meta’s long-term strategy to maintain a competitive edge while reducing vulnerabilities in their AI ecosystem.
