This model can answer questions, create summaries, generate code, and write social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several search engines like DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and You.com are using the Bing\u2019s search data as per Microsoft license. However, Microsoft has drawn a line when it comes to the use of its data in AI chatbots, which it views as a violation of its contract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per a bird, upon the misuse of this information by the search engines, Microsoft would even choose to terminate its agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thought, at the very moment, it is unclear which search engines Bloomberg is referring to in its report, however, it is worth noting that the DuckDuckGo recently launched a tool called DuckAssist that provides AI-generated summaries for certain searches, while You.com and Neeva both offer AI-powered tools that generate annotated summaries and provide answers to users\u2019 questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the tech giant decides to restrict Bing\u2019s search data for use in AI chatbots, it could eventually impact the functionality and capabilities of these search engines\u2019 chatbots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now this crackdown by Microsoft is significant if not historic, as it highlights the increasing importance of AI chatbots in the search engine landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Growing Demand for Access to High-quality Search Data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more companies like Google introducing their own takes on OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT chatbot, there is a growing demand for access to high-quality search data to power these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since Microsoft seeks to make its chatbot stand out in a crowded marketplace, its decision to restrict access to its search data could potentially put it at a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move would not just affect Microsoft and related search engines, but this would rather affect a much wider AI industry. However, what remains to be seen is how the situation will unravel, but it underscores the importance of access to high-quality data in the development of AI technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tech giant Microsoft is currently occupied in the cracking down on Bing-powered search engines that are using the search data to power their AI chatbots.
