How AI is Impacting the World

Searching the web is now easier with ChatGPT

OpenAI just rolled out an upgraded ChatGPT Search feature, creating a seamless way to access real-time web information directly within ChatGPT. Rather than toggling between a search engine and ChatGPT, users now get real-time answers with linked sources on up-to-date topics like sports, news, stock prices, and weather. ChatGPT chooses to search based on user queries or by request, making the search experience intuitive and conversational. This update aims to streamline information gathering by letting users dive deeper with follow-up questions, providing results without the usual clicks and scrolls.

Available today for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and SearchGPT waitlist users, this feature will soon extend to Enterprise, Edu, and Free users. Along with ease of use, it adds direct links to original articles and resources for further exploration, bridging AI responses with original content. News providers like Vox Media and Le Monde are optimistic about AI search’s potential to reach wider audiences while upholding journalistic standards. Through collaborations with industry leaders like AP, Hearst, and Reuters, OpenAI signals a fresh approach to connecting users to verified, high-quality content.

As ChatGPT joins a field that includes Google and Perplexity AI, it reflects a shifting search landscape. OpenAI’s plans include expanded search areas like travel and shopping, taking user feedback into account. This move positions AI at the heart of search, with both efficiency and credibility that could redefine how we access information in a multi-platform world.

Important Points

• Real-Time Sports and News: Get instant updates on sports scores, stock prices, weather, and news, all directly within ChatGPT.

• Linked Sources for Exploration: Responses include direct links to original articles, allowing users to dive deeper and verify information.

• Trusted Publisher Partnerships: Collaborations with publishers like Vox Media, AP, and Reuters ensure that responses are backed by credible, high-quality journalism.

• Expanding to Travel and Shopping: Future updates will include features for travel recommendations, shopping insights, and real-time pricing directly within the chat interface.
