Abstract

AI-enhanced search engines, characterized by their conversational nature, are reshaping human-computer interactions, offering a richer information exchange, transitioning from a dictionary to wisdom. This paper dives deeper into the integration of generative AI, especially the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) technology, in search engines, investigating its algorithm, benefits, and strategies to mitigate its limitations and bias. To this end, the paper connects the dots from the beginning of transistor discovery to the dawn of OpenAI under the Moore’s law to drive costs and accumulate wealth. To explain the context, the paper presents a timeline of the development of search engines from Archie to Yahoo!, to Google, and to Bing. The early search engine “Archie” could only do an arranging task to archive information like a dictionary, while such advanced search engines as Google and Bing being integrated with GPT, a generative AI product, can do a much more sophisticated job usually required expertise or wisdom. Addressing the challenges posed by generative AI requires a collaborative effort encompassing technologists, policymakers, and the public. As we go on board with this AI-infused journey, it’s crucial to approach with awareness, ensuring its contributions benefit society, economy, and individual lives. Despite concerns of a dystopian AI-future, the author remains hopeful about leveraging AI to enhance global prosperity and freedom.
