Open AI launched a new prototype of an AI-powered search engine called SearchGPT. The company made an official announcement yesterday and invited people to join the test period they have started to get feedback.

The AI-powered search engine will provide users with conversational results and real-time information. As an example, OpenAI showed through videos how SearchGPT will show users results when being asked about music festivals in the city of Boone in North Carolina this year and the new search engine provided a list with images and a short description of upcoming events in August including links to websites with more information.

SearchGPT will also answer follow-up questions, and OpenAI assures an experience “like you would in a conversation with a person.” OpenAI showed different scenarios of how the engine works on its website and social media.

We’re testing SearchGPT, a temporary prototype of new AI search features that give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources. We’re launching with a small group of users for feedback and plan to integrate the experience into ChatGPT. https://t.co/dRRnxXVlGh pic.twitter.com/iQpADXmllH — OpenAI (@OpenAI) July 25, 2024

OpenAI also highlighted the collaborations with other publications to feature relevant content. “AI search is going to become one of the key ways that people navigate the internet, and it’s crucial, in these early days, that the technology is built in a way that values, respects, and protects journalism and publishers,” said Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, one of OpenAI’s partners.

This year, OpenAI has announced partnerships with American mass media News Corp , TIME , and other organizations. And just a few days ago, Reuters reported that OpenAI is secretly working on an advanced reasoning technology called Strawberry .

OpenAI has been making significant updates and launching new products, staying ahead of the AI race .

The FBI and other cybersecurity organisations released a Cybersecurity Advisory , highlighting these espionage activities. The cyber actors have primarily targeted defence, aerospace, nuclear, and engineering entities worldwide. Their objective is to steal sensitive and classified technical information and intellectual property to advance the DPRK’s military and nuclear programs.

The authors of the Cybersecurity Advisory warn that the group continue to threaten various industry sectors globally, including entities in the U.S., UK, South Korea, Japan, and India. The RGB’s 3rd Bureau finances its espionage activities through ransomware attacks on U.S. healthcare organisations.

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, international cooperation will be crucial in combating these sophisticated adversaries.
