Meta's AI-Powered Search Engine

Meta is developing an AI-powered search engine to reduce its reliance on Google and Microsoft for current events information. The planned search engine aims to deliver AI-generated search summaries within its chatbot, leveraging a multi-year deal with Reuters to integrate real-time news content. This move comes as Meta recognizes the shift in user behavior towards utilizing chatbots for search queries, in contrast to traditional search engine usage.
