OpenAI, under CEO Sam Altman, is reportedly preparing to launch a ChatGPT-powered search engine.

The new search engine is aimed to be a competitor to industry giants Google and Microsoft's Bing.

A new domain has been registered by OpenAI for the upcoming search engine.

OpenAI's AI tools, including the proposed search engine, face legal challenges over copyright infringement due to their reliance on internet data.

The search engine's ability to compete with Google hinges on OpenAI's resolution of these copyright concerns.
