OpenAI could hire specialists from Google for its new search engine; Expected release before Google I/O 2024

It seems that OpenAI could strengthen the team dedicated to the development of its search engine by recruiting employees from Google, according to recent sources. The move comes as OpenAI prepares to launch its own search engine, scheduled just before the Google I/O event, suggesting a direct competition between the two entities.

OpenAI’s planned search engine would address one of ChatGPT’s main limitations: the lack of real-time Internet access. According to reports, the new engine would offer generative results similar to Google’s generative search experience (Google SGE), positioning itself as a serious rival to Google Search.

The details of the terms OpenAI offers to Google employees are not yet public, but the anticipation of the engine’s release on May 9, just before Google I/O, indicates an important strategic step for OpenAI. We remain awaiting official confirmations for more information on this potentially influential development.
