"Making its popular AI chatbot a gateway to online searches could allow OpenAI, the world's most valuable startup, to pull in more internet traffic and the revenue made from digital advertising. It could also further cut off the lifeblood of online publishers if ChatGPT so effectively feeds people summarized information that they stop exploring the internet and clicking on traditional web links."
"OpenAI has said ChatGPT already has more than 800 million users but many of them get it for free. The San Francisco-based company also sells paid subscriptions but is losing more money than it makes and has been looking for ways to turn a profit. OpenAI said Atlas launches Tuesday on Apple laptops and will later come to Microsoft's Windows, Apple's iOS phone operating system and Google's Android phone system."
OpenAI launched a web browser called Atlas, initially available on Apple laptops and planned for Windows, iOS and Android. The browser makes ChatGPT a gateway to online searches, potentially drawing increased internet traffic and digital advertising revenue. Extensive ChatGPT use could reduce clicks to traditional web links and further strain online publishers' revenue. ChatGPT reportedly has more than 800 million users, many using the free service while OpenAI seeks profitable revenue streams. OpenAI faces stiff competition from Google's Chrome, and past legal debates over Chrome's sale intersected with views that AI advances are reshaping competition.
