AI integration may soon fundamentally alter how we search on the internet

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the stuff of science fiction. It is increasingly being used in various industries ranging from finance to transportation. Now, with the emergence of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the glee and excitement around it, big tech firms have accelerated their plans to integrate their search engines with AI-powered chatbots.

In a blog post earlier this month, Google and Alphabet Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sundar Pichai said, “Today, the scale of the largest AI computations is doubling every six months, far outpacing Moore’s Law”. As predicted by Gordon Moore in 1965, Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors per silicon chip doubles yearly. It points towards the rapid advancement in semiconductor technology.
