Hello folks…

I’m trying to get some background on Bing AI and was wondering when it was first released. I’m interested in understanding its development timeline and how it has evolved over time.

Can anyone provide the release date or any significant milestones related to Bing AI’s launch? Thanks :blush:

Bing’s Origins

AI Integration

  • February 2023: Microsoft introduced a new AI-powered Bing, significantly enhancing its search capabilities with conversational AI, allowing users to interact with the search engine more naturally. This version leveraged OpenAI’s GPT technology.
  • Subsequent Updates: Microsoft has continuously refined and expanded Bing’s AI capabilities, focusing on improving accuracy, relevance, and user experience.

While there isn’t a specific, widely recognized “release date” for Bing AI, the February 2023 launch marks a significant turning point when AI became a core component of the search engine.
