The Adoption of AI-powered Bing and Microsoft Edge: Will it enhance the blockchain industry?
Table of Contents
Microsoft has recently announced the introduction of AI-powered Bing and Microsoft Edge as your copilot for the web. This new technology will change the way users interact with the internet and perform online searches. The company has promised that these new tools will make it easier and faster for users to find what they are looking for and get the most out of their online experience. “It’s a new day in search”, said Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft.
An AI-Powered Bing
The AI-powered Bing will use artificial intelligence to provide users with more accurate and relevant results. Bing will use machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's search query and provide a list of results that are most likely to be what the user is looking for. The results will also be organized in a way that makes it easy for the user to navigate and find what they are looking for quickly. According to Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, the introduction of AI and ChatGPT is akin to the advent of the internet. Nadella stated that this technology will drastically transform every software category and questioned how AI will reshape the web. He also affirmed that in the future, all computer interactions will be assisted by an agent, starting with search.
Microsoft's leaders have stated that the nature of search has remained unchanged over the past two decades. It performs well when handling straightforward factual inquiries, but struggles when it comes to offering recommendations. To address this, Microsoft aims to integrate chat technology into its new Bing search engine and browser. Yusuf Mehdi, the Corporate Vice President, announced that Bing will feature an advanced version of the ChatGPT algorithm called Prometheus, integrated into the GPT model.
The new Bing has combined search, browsing, and chat into one unified experience, including:
- Improved Search Results: The updated Bing provides a refined search experience, delivering more accurate results for common queries like sports scores, weather and stock prices, as well as a new sidebar that offers comprehensive answers upon request.
- Complete Information: Bing evaluates information from multiple sources across the web to give you the answer you're looking for, such as step-by-step instructions on how to substitute eggs in a cake recipe, without the need to sort through numerous results.
- New Chat Functionality: When faced with more complicated searches, such as trip planning or determining which TV to buy, the new Bing features interactive chat, allowing users to refine their search until they find the complete information they need, with links for further action.
- Inspiration at Your Fingertips: The new Bing offers more than just answers, it provides inspiration. It can help write an email, plan a dream vacation to Hawaii, prepare for a job interview, create a quiz for trivia night, and more, all while citing its sources for additional reference.
According to Yusuf Mehdi, using the new Bing search experience will be free of charge. However, advertising will be present from the start, though it is unclear whether these ads will be displayed in the form of sponsored search results or a sponsored chat interface.
As previously hinted, the chat results and contextual search within Bing will be accompanied by links to the source material, allowing users to verify the information. The links are currently minimal, with the main goal being to build trust in the results.
Microsoft has also taken measures to protect against potentially harmful queries, such as attacks on real-world locations, by adding filters that can identify and block these types of requests.
Microsoft Edge Powered by AI
Microsoft Edge, which is the successor to Internet Explorer, is a fast, secure, and efficient web browser that provides users with a seamless browsing experience. Microsoft Edge has been designed from the ground up to provide users with the best possible experience, and the integration of AI is a key part of this.
One of the key benefits of AI in Microsoft Edge is its ability to block malicious websites and protect users from online threats. Microsoft Edge uses AI algorithms to analyze websites in real-time, and it can detect and block malicious websites that are trying to steal users’ personal information or install malware on their devices. This is a crucial feature for anyone who uses the web for online banking, shopping, or other sensitive activities.
Another major benefit of AI in Microsoft Edge is its ability to provide users with a more personalized browsing experience. Microsoft Edge uses AI to analyze a user’s browsing history, location, and other data to provide them with highly relevant results. For example, if a user frequently visits a particular news website, Microsoft Edge will start to show them more news articles from that website.
Finally, AI is also powering Microsoft Edge’s new Collections feature. This feature allows users to save and organize information from the web, making it easy to access and use later. Microsoft Edge uses AI to analyze the information that users save, and it can suggest relevant articles, images, and other information that they may find useful.
According to Mehdi, a new version of the Microsoft Edge browser will feature an AI chat experience as a sidebar. The chat feature has the ability to summarize earnings reports and write LinkedIn posts. The launch date of the updated Edge browser is currently unknown. The chat can be accessed via a small Bing icon in the upper right corner of the interface. Bing already has a sidebar view with various utilities and tools, and it seems that the chat feature will be an enhanced version of those utilities. Microsoft was widely expected to launch a comprehensive AI initiative covering both consumer and enterprise products. In January, reports suggested that an AI-powered Bing could be released as early as March, with the possibility of ChatGPT or a similar technology being used in Office. Microsoft recently invested a reported $10 billion over ten years into OpenAI, after previously investing $1 billion. CEO Satya Nadella has previously stated that Microsoft plans to lead the "age of AI" by deploying GPT technology across its product line. There have been leaks about a new version of Bing, referred to as "the new Bing," which offered basic citations for its information. Microsoft's Bing will now compete with ChatGPT, Google's recently released Bard, and You.com's YouChat, all of which are conversational AI systems that can provide contextual answers and source links.
How AI-powered Bing and Microsoft Edge enhance the blockchain industry?
Bing and Microsoft Edge are not directly related to the blockchain industry in the sense that they are not blockchain-based platforms or services. However, both technologies can be used in conjunction with the blockchain industry to provide various benefits.
- Improved Search Experience: Bing can provide a better search experience for users looking for information about blockchain technology, projects, and services. It can also show more relevant and accurate results by using AI-powered algorithms to understand the user's intent.
- Blockchain Integration: Microsoft Edge can integrate with blockchain-based services and platforms to allow users to access and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly from their web browser.
- Secure Browsing: Microsoft Edge's built-in security features can help ensure that users' data and assets are protected when accessing blockchain-based services. This includes protection against phishing scams, malicious software, and other security threats.
- Better Accessibility: AI-powered tools and services like Bing and Microsoft Edge can help make blockchain technology more accessible to a wider range of users by providing simple and intuitive interfaces for accessing and interacting with blockchain-based services.
Overall, the integration of AI-powered technologies like Bing and Microsoft Edge with the blockchain industry can help to drive the development and adoption of this technology by making it easier, more secure, and more accessible to a wider range of users.
Conclusion
AI is revolutionizing the way we interact with the web, and Bing and Microsoft Edge are leading the charge. With the integration of AI, these two technologies are providing users with a more personalized, efficient, and secure browsing experience. Whether you are using Bing to search for information or Microsoft Edge to browse the web, you can be sure that AI is working behind the scenes to make your experience better.
