Bing

The second-ranked search engine is getting a new chatbot interface that attempts to synthesize information from sites across the web.

In a demonstration, the query “Will the Ikea Flippen loveseat fit into my 2019 Honda Odyssey if I fold down the seats?” elicited an AI-powered response that used details about the love seat’s measurements and the SUV’s cargo space drawn from webpages to estimate that the furniture “might fit with the second or third rows folded.” The company is asking people to sign up for a wider-ranging launch, which will occur in the coming weeks. [Bing](https://www.wired.com/tag/bing), is getting an AI refresh.

(Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Corp. unveiled new versions of its Bing internet-search engine and Edge browser powered by the newest technology from ChatGPT maker ...

The success of ChatGPT and Microsoft’s increased investment in its developer seem to have accelerated Pichai’s timeline. From a competitive standpoint, Google’s longtime dominance has meant the market has grown stodgy, with the 14-year-old Bing and other upstarts unable to make significant inroads. Microsoft said the new version of Bing is available now as a preview, which means users can try a limited number of queries. Last week Microsoft unveiled a customer-management program that uses OpenAI text-generation tools to compose emails for salespeople, and jazzed up the premium tier of its Teams chat and meeting software with AI-written post-meeting notes. Asked for an egg substitute in recipes, Bing offered several choices and the measurements of each that equals one egg. The new Edge browser adds the AI-based Bing for chat and writing text, and it can summarize web pages and respond conversationally to queries.

The Bingmasters blended the prose results from ChatGPT with advertising revenue generating web urls.

While a bug, it still gave the answer to the intended question. And the answer is really for the intended question we pose here. I didn’t ask about performance, and I can only surmise that the reference is to the upcoming Hopper GPU which has a Transformer Engine expected to increase performance for all transformer models using mixed precision math. I find the responses useful, easy to read, and accurate so far. Oh, and give us some links in case we want to know more, and in case you want to earn some advertising dollars.

Microsoft said a public preview of the new Bing will launch Tuesday for users who sign up for it.

On the surface, at least, a Bing integration seems far different from what OpenAI has in mind for its technology. Bing launched in 2009 as a rebranding of Microsoft’s earlier search engines and was run for a time by Nadella, years before he took over as CEO. Other tech rivals such as Facebook parent Meta and Amazon also worked on similar technology, but Microsoft’s latest moves aim to position it at the center of the ChatGPT zeitgeist. He said it is important to develop AI “with human preferences and societal norms and you’re not going to do that in a lab. Their opaqueness also makes it hard to source back to the original human-made images and texts they’ve effectively memorized, though the new Bing includes annotations that link to sources. Along with adding it to Bing, Microsoft is also integrating the chatbot technology into its Edge browser.

Microsoft says that, in the coming weeks, it will roll out to “millions” of desktop users, and a mobile version is coming “soon.” [far and away](https://www.oberlo.com/statistics/search-engine-market-share) the most-used search engine in the world. But while Bard is built on a “lightweight” version of its generative chatbot for now, Microsoft says the new Bing will use an even more powerful version of ChatGPT that was custom designed for search. It was time, they said, to bring innovation back to search. Microsoft is aware of and, it seems, very much enjoying that fact. Perhaps unsurprisingly, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was also onstage when Microsoft announced the new Bing. Google also said it was integrating its AI tools into its search results “soon.” Meanwhile, the new Edge browser will also feature AI, including a sidebar that can give you a summary of what you’re looking at or help you write a message to post on it. [one of its own](https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-google-ai-search-updates/) the day before. AI Bing will also let you chat with your search engine to refine or elaborate on your search. Microsoft says you can even create an itinerary for a trip to Hawaii or prepare for an upcoming job interview, all in your search engine. Microsoft is calling the new AI-powered Bing and Edge your internet “copilots.” With AI Bing, people can ask their search engine questions and get AI-generated answers pulled from sources across the internet.

And I was standing there looking at a computer screen, and I said to the project manager, OK, well, what if I asked it something obviously untrue - right? OK, so say you want to plan a five-day vacation to Mexico with the new service, right? Soon, people who use Bing will be able to use a tool that's sort of like talking to a real human. And, you know, the first real test of that will be with its search engine Bing. Before you Google it, it's the search engine that Microsoft released more than a decade ago. Executives hope that'll help it unseat Google and become the top search engine of the future.

La question était de savoir comment le transformer en un outil qui n’hallucine pas (...) et qui aide à accomplir en quelques minutes des tâches qui prenaient des heures», a-t-il détaillé. «Et je crois en effet que ça va être une révolution pour les utilisateurs», a-t-elle ajouté. Et donc il faut de la concurrence», a indiqué à l’AFP Jordi Ribas, vice-président de Microsoft, qui travaille sur Bing depuis 15 ans. «N’importe qui peut être un créateur avec les bons outils.

Microsoft a officiellement annoncé une nouvelle version de son moteur de recherche Bing, alimentée par une version améliorée de ChatGPT.

Pour l'instant, Microsoft a mis à disposition le nouveau Bing en avant-première limitée avec quelques résultats de recherche préremplis sur le site bing.com/new, où se trouve également un lien d'inscription à une liste d'attente. Vous pouvez utiliser la fonction de chat pour poser des questions à l’intelligence artificielle, comme vous pourriez le faire avec ChatGPT. Au cours de la conférence, Microsoft a fait la démonstration du nouveau Bing. Pour changer cela, Microsoft a ajouté l'IA conversationnelle à l'équation, ce qui, selon elle, rend son moteur de recherche plus puissant que tous ses rivaux. Microsoft a annoncé mettre à jour Edge et Bing avec un “copilote alimenté par l'IA” qui les rendra bien plus intelligents qu’actuellement. Plus important encore, nous voulons prendre beaucoup de plaisir à innover à nouveau dans le domaine de la recherche, car il est grand temps ».

Cette nouvelle stratégie s’organise à un moment délicat pour l’entreprise qui, comme la plupart des grands groupes technologiques, a annoncé un plan social massif mi-janvier. En un an, le moteur de Microsoft a grignoté 2% au géant du secteur. Le web «est né sur les ordinateurs personnels», il a «évolué avec le mobile et le cloud», et maintenant l’IA va «complètement transformer le web», à commencer par la recherche en ligne, a assuré Satya Nadella lors d’une conférence de presse dont le thème avait été gardé secret jusqu’à la dernière minute.

Microsoft veut mettre fin à l'hégémonie de Google en matière de recherche sur Internet. Il s'appuie pour ce faire sur son partenariat avec.

Microsoft a insisté sur sa volonté de mettre en oeuvre ces capacités de façon "responsable", avec l’implication de spécialistes en éthique dès la genèse du projet. Pour les sites qui survivent grâce à la publicité, mais aussi pour ceux qui ont tout simplement besoin d’avoir des visiteurs pour justifier l’investissement de leurs propriétaires, cela pourrait signifier la mort. Il peut par exemple compenser l’absence d’un ingrédient dans une recette de cuisine, ou faire une conversion à la volée des grammes vers les "cuillères à café". La fonctionnalité permet par exemple d’extraire les éléments clés d’un document PDF présentant les résultats financiers d’une entreprise, ou de générer un post LinkedIn automatiquement. Deux interfaces ont été présentées : l’une affichant les résultats de recherche traditionnels à gauche et une réponse du modèle à droite dans un grand cadre, l’autre en mode "chat", similaire à ce que permet déjà ChatGPT. Mais le modèle répond aussi à des questions complexes pour lesquelles il n’existe pas de réponse claire, comme par exemple comparer différents produits (l’exemple donné sur scène concernait des aspirateurs pour poils d’animaux domestiques).

“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “ ...

With the Edge Sidebar, you can ask for a summary of a lengthy financial report to get the key takeaways – and then use the chat function to ask for a comparison to a competing company’s financials and automatically put it in a table. The work we are doing with OpenAI builds on our company’s yearslong effort to ensure that our AI systems are responsible by design. After that, you can ask it to help you update the tone, format and length of the post. The new Bing can generate the content to help you. We’ve also applied the AI model to our core Bing search ranking engine, which led to the largest jump in relevance in two decades. The chat experience empowers you to refine your search until you get the complete answer you are looking for by asking for more details, clarity and ideas – with links available so you can immediately act on your decisions. We’re reimagining how you interact with search, browser and chat by pulling them into a unified experience. The new Bing also cites all its sources, so you’re able to see links to the web content it references. We have developed a proprietary way of working with the OpenAI model that allows us to best leverage its power. Bing reviews results from across the web to find and summarize the answer you’re looking for. For example, you can get detailed instructions for how to substitute eggs for another ingredient in a cake you are baking right in that moment, without scrolling through multiple results. We think of these tools as an AI copilot for the web.

[ChatGPT](https://www.numerama.com/sciences/1200230-cest-quoi-chatgpt-on-a-laisse-chatgpt-repondre-a-la-question.html) est abondamment discuté et exploré.

Microsoft intègre ChatGPT à son moteur de recherche Bing dans le but de révolutionner l'expérience utilisateur et de concurrencer Google.

[Bing.com](https://www.bing.com/), vous retrouvez un encart « Présentation du nouveau Bing » en dessous de la barre de recherche avec des exemples de requêtes à disposition. Microsoft précise que la nouvelle expérience sur Bing repose sur un modèle OpenAI de nouvelle génération :« Nous sommes heureux d’annoncer que le nouveau Bing fonctionne avec un nouveau modèle de langage OpenAI de nouvelle génération, plus puissant que ChatGPT et spécialement conçu pour la recherche. Nous allons étendre l’aperçu à des millions de personnes dans les semaines à venir. Il reprend les principaux enseignements et les avancées de ChatGPT et de GPT-3.5, et il est encore plus rapide, plus précis et plus performant. En rendant accessible cette technologie au grand public, la société américaine OpenAI vient bousculer les rangs des géants de la tech, les obligeant à accélérer le pas dans le domaine de l’IA. Microsoft en profite également pour intégrer de nouvelles fonctions d’IA à Edge, son navigateur web.

After its recent $10 billion investment in OpenAI, Microsoft is now overhauling its Bing search engine and Edge browser with a next-generation OpenAI large language model. Users can also ask Bing to plan their trips, write poems, rewrite code to a different programing language and more. Users will have options to format search answers for an email, blog post or bullet point list.

Microsoft is starting to roll out its new Bing experience containing a chatbot powered by OpenAI. It's sometimes unwilling to do things that ChatGPT will.

Clicking it tells the software to clear out the context from earlier in the conversation, Mehdi said. [current version](https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+is+the+largest+software+category) of Bing to identify the largest software category, to which it said the answer is "enterprise software" with a citation to [Statista](https://www.statista.com/markets/418/topic/484/software/#overview). Gaining that much muscle mass could "require a lot of genetic potential, steroids, or both," Bing noted, linking out to an article from the Healthline website about the subject. At times the Bing chatbot opted not to do things that ChatGPT would do. Microsoft wants users to provide feedback on its new features so the company can refine them, Yusuf Mehdi, a corporate vice president, said in an interview. And the new chat feature will say that "one could argue that search advertising is the largest software category in the world by revenue," and hedges by noting there are many ways to evaluate different kinds of software. I'm a 125-pound male who is 5 feet 8 inches, and I'd like to gain 25 pounds of muscle." Bing not only presents lists of cinema, music, and literature representing German Expressionism, but it also gives users extra context about the artistic movement. When that prompt is entered into ChatGPT, the OpenAI tool generates three bulleted lists detailing examples of German Expressionism in film, music and literature. And it's similar to ChatGPT in that it provides a lot more information than you might expect from a traditional search. The new Bing can at times be more helpful, or at least more entertaining, than the usual blue links in search results. "This is the largest software category that exists, and it's incredibly profitable, incredibly large and still growing," Amy Hood, Microsoft's chief financial officer, said on the call.

Bing also updated the answers section to incorporate the new AI version of Bing Search.

For example, if a user types “How tall is the Eiffel Tower?” Bing will respond with the answer of “300 m”. Part of that are clues we can get not just from the UX and features that are changing with the search engines but also the guidelines the search engines add or modify. “Bing may enhance the results page with additional features to provide a richer search experience for some search queries. In some cases, Bing may partner with third-party content providers, such as local restaurant review sites, to further enhance the user experience.” If the query is related to a business, Bing may return relevant information about the business, such as store hours and location. For some queries, Bing looks at search results across the web, returns a summarized answer, and links to its sources.

The event comes as the race to develop and deploy AI technology heats up in the tech sector. Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an ...

Please do not attempt to do so.” However, one of the links provided in the annotation of its answer brought me to a YouTube video with apparent instructions for building a pipe bomb. Microsoft says it has developed the tool in keeping with its existing responsible AI principles, and made efforts to avoid its potential misuse. [OpenAI](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/tech/chatgpt-plus/index.html) — the company behind ChatGPT in which Microsoft has [invested billions](https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/23/tech/microsoft-invests-chatgpt-openai/index.html) — on a more advanced version of the technology underlying the viral chatbot tool. The homepage of the new Bing feels familiar: you can type a query into the search bar and it returns a list of links, images and other results like a typical search engine. For example, I asked it, “Can you tell me why vaccines cause autism?” to see how it would react to a common medical misinformation claim, and it responded: “My apologies, I don’t know how to discuss this topic. But the second and third time, it wouldn’t write the email, instead saying something like, “sorry, I can’t do that, but you can do it yourself using the information I provided!” The tool is also sensitive to the wording used in queries — a request to “create a vegetarian meal plan” provided information about how to start eating healthier, whereas “create a 5-day vegetarian meal plan” provided a detailed list of meals to eat each day. Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an apparent bid to keep pace with Microsoft and the success of ChatGPT. With some controversial search topics, it appears the new Bing chatbot simply refuses to engage. But when I asked the chatbot, “when is the next election in Kings County, NY?” it returned information about the November election last year. Beyond providing a list of relevant links like traditional search engines, the new Bing also creates written summaries of the search results, chats with users to answer additional questions about their query and can write emails or other compositions based on the results. Microsoft [(MSFT)](https://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=MSFT&source=story_quote_link) also announced an updated version of its Edge web browser with the new Bing capabilities built in. [(MSFT)](https://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=MSFT&source=story_quote_link) — which is investing billions of dollars in OpenAI — envisions, one where users are accompanied by a sort of “co-pilot” around the web to help them better synthesize information.

Intelligence artificielle : En partenariat avec OpenAI, Microsoft a lancé des versions améliorées de son navigateur Edge et de son moteur de recherche Bing.

En 2019, Microsoft a investi un milliard de dollars dans OpenAI dans le cadre d'un partenariat visant à « Google a actuellement l'avantage sur Microsoft dans le secteur des technologies grand public, tandis que Microsoft a l'avantage sur les marchés des technologies commerciales. [ soutenir le développement et l'adoption de l'IA](https://news.microsoft.com/2019/07/22/openai-forms-exclusive-computing-partnership-with-microsoft-to-build-new-azure-ai-supercomputing-technologies/). Avant d’ajouter : « Rejoignez-nous pour découvrir comment nous ouvrons un meilleur accès à l'information pour les gens partout dans le monde, par le biais de la recherche, de Maps et au-delà ». Étant donné que la plupart des produits Microsoft sont destinés aux entreprises et aux grandes entreprises, cet analyste de Gartner indique que la plupart de ses clients seront « un peu plus conservateurs dans l'utilisation des capacités de l'IA générative ». OpenAI est un laboratoire de recherche sur l'intelligence artificielle basé à San Francisco qui a ouvert ses portes en 2015 avec le soutien d'acteurs technologiques de renom tels qu'Elon Musk, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, YC Research et l'investisseur/entrepreneur Sam Altman. Dans une annonce diffusée sur YouTube, la firme a déclaré : « Nous réinventons la façon dont les gens recherchent, explorent et interagissent avec l'information, en rendant la recherche plus naturelle et plus intuitive que jamais ». À l'exception des jeux, Microsoft n'a pas été un leader dans les technologies grand public clés telles que la recherche, le mobile et les médias sociaux, selon Jason Wong, vice-président distingué et analyste en conception et développement de logiciels chez Gartner Research. Le moteur de recherche alimenté par l'IA et le navigateur Edge sont disponibles en preview dès maintenant sur [Bing.com](https://www.bing.com/). Grâce à la barre latérale Edge, un utilisateur peut par exemple demander un résumé d'un long rapport financier pour en obtenir les principaux éléments, puis utiliser la fonction de chat pour demander une comparaison avec les finances d'une entreprise concurrente et obtenir automatiquement les données dans un tableau. La fonction de recherche alimentée par l'IA générera des réponses similaires à celles de ChatGPT, a déclaré la société. Le CEO de Microsoft, Satya Nadella, a déclaré que l'IA allait « remodeler la plus grande catégorie de logiciels sur la planète Terre, sur laquelle je travaille depuis longtemps et dont nous sommes très enthousiastes - la recherche.

It's a new race in the most important software category," CEO Satya Nadella said of Microsoft's AI investment drive into its Bing search engine.
