Microsoft is expanding its AI chat feature, Bing Chat, to third-party browsers like Chrome and Safari on both desktop and mobile devices to compete with other AI tools.

Here are what you need to know

  • Microsoft Edge provides longer conversations, chat history, and more integrated Bing Features.

  • Microsoft launched a multimodal visual search in Bing Chat:

    • Allows searching using text and images.

    • Bing's version uses OpenAI, enabling users to input images and ask chatbot-related questions.

  • Microsoft introduced a Dark Mode for Bing Chat and a new Bing Chat Enterprise with strong data protection for businesses. Many companies, including Apple, Samsung, Walmart, and big banks, have stopped employees from using apps like ChatGPT because of data safety concerns.

What are the main points ?

  • OpenAI has introduced "GPTBot", a web crawling tool to potentially enhance future ChatGPT models.

  • A web crawler indexes website content for search engines like Google and Bing.

  • OpenAI's crawler will gather public data, excluding paywalled content, personal info, or content against its policies.

Concerns about OpenAI’s data-collecting tactics

People are worried about how OpenAI collects data, especially about permission and copyright. Japan warned OpenAI in June, and Italy stopped using ChatGPT in April because it might break EU privacy rules. In June, 16 people sued OpenAI for taking private ChatGPT user info. If this is true, OpenAI and Microsoft could be in big trouble for breaking computer law.

  • Worldcoin's plan is to release 10 billion tokens over 15 years. Currently, 120 million tokens are in circulation, which is 1.2% of the planned total.

  • The project introduces a "proof of personhood" as a digital ID system, attracting interest from tech enthusiasts.

  • Worldcoin believes verifying human status online will be vital, especially with the rise of AI bots.
