Microsoft Launches Generative AI Search Tool for Bing

Bing will use AI technology to aggregate online information and generate machine learning-driven summaries for search queries, Microsoft announced Wednesday. Google currently uses machine learning tools to generate summaries for search queries. Bing’s generative search tool will be available for a “small percentage of user queries” initially, Microsoft said. The new tool “understands the search query, reviews millions of sources of information, dynamically matches content, and generates search results in a new AI-generated layout to fulfill the intent of the user’s query more effectively.”
