Google is planning to demonstrate an AI version of its search engine, The New York Times reported.

Google appears to be renewing its focus on AI after issuing a"code red" over the rise of ChatGPT in December.

Lily Lin, a Google spokesperson, told Insider: "We continue to test our AI technology internally to make sure it's helpful and safe, and we look forward to sharing more experiences externally soon."

Microsoft, an investor in OpenAI, is reportedly planning to launch a Bing feature that incorporates the tech behind ChatGPT.

The aim is to provide users with answers to some searches, rather than just displaying relevant links, per The Information.

The Times reported that safety, tackling misinformation, and ensuring factual accuracy were some of Google's key priorities for the chatbot search demo.
