OpenAI Plans to Launch AI-Powered Web Browser to Challenge Google and Chrome - Jordan News
Three informed sources have revealed that OpenAI is nearing the launch of an AI-powered web browser designed to challenge the dominance of Google and its Chrome browser, owned by Alphabet. اضافة اعلان According to Reuters, the browser is expected to be released in the coming weeks and aims to revolutionize the web browsing experience by leveraging artificial intelligence. This new browser would give OpenAI more direct access to what drives Google's success: user data. If a significant number of ChatGPT's 500 million weekly active users switch to OpenAI's browser, it could put real pressure on Google's advertising revenue. Chrome is a cornerstone of Alphabet's ad business, which makes up nearly three-quarters of its revenue. Chrome collects data about users that allows Alphabet to serve highly targeted and profitable ads. Its settings also direct search traffic automatically to Google's search engine. Two of the sources stated that OpenAI's browser will be designed to keep certain user interactions within a built-in chat interface, similar to ChatGPT, rather than relying on traditional website navigation via clicks. This move could reshape how users interact with the web, offering a more conversational, AI-integrated experience and potentially disrupting the current landscape dominated by Google.

Google launches Flow & Gemini's photo-to-video capability in MENA
Google launches today a new photo-to-video capability in Gemini, allowing creators and artists to transform their favorite photos into dynamic eight-second video clips with sound. The new capability is available to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers across the Middle East and North Africa, starting today. Google is also launching Flow, the only AI filmmaking tool custom-designed for Google's most advanced models — Veo, Imagen and Gemini. Flow can help storytellers explore their ideas without bounds and create cinematic clips and scenes for their stories. Photo-to-video brings images to life To turn photos into videos, select 'Videos' from the tool menu in the prompt box and upload a photo. Then, describe the scene and any audio instructions, and watch as the selected still image transforms into a dynamic video. Users can get creative by animating everyday objects, bringing their drawings and paintings to life or adding movement to nature scenes. Once the video is complete, users can tap the share button or download it to share with friends and family. Flow: available in MENA & in Arabic Flow comes with a range of features for professionals or those just getting started: • Camera Controls: Master some shots with direct control over camera motion, angles and perspectives. • Scenebuilder: Seamlessly edit and extend existing shots — revealing more of the action or transitioning to what happens next with continuous motion and consistent characters. • Asset Management: Easily manage and organize all of the ingredients and prompts. The explosion of creativity from users has been truly remarkable, with over 40 million Veo 3 videos generated across the Gemini app and Flow over the last seven weeks. All generated videos include a visible watermark to show they are AI-generated and an invisible SynthID digital watermark. Users can access Gemini, and check the Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions to explore Veo 3 and Flow, Google's AI filmmaking tool.

OpenAI to Launch New AI-Powered Browser to Rival Google - Jordan News
According to three informed sources cited by Reuters, OpenAI is nearing the launch of a new AI-powered internet browser that could challenge the dominance of Google Chrome, the market-leading browser owned by Alphabet Inc. اضافة اعلان The browser, set to launch in the coming weeks, is designed to transform the web browsing experience through artificial intelligence. It will allow OpenAI more direct access to one of Google's key advantages—user data. Pressure on Google If a significant portion of OpenAI's 500 million weekly active ChatGPT users switch to the new browser, it could place substantial pressure on Google's advertising revenues. Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly considering using AI technology from either Anthropic or OpenAI to power its virtual assistant, Siri, as part of its effort to revamp its lagging AI capabilities. Google Chrome remains a cornerstone of Alphabet's advertising business, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the company's revenue. Chrome collects extensive user data to help Alphabet target ads more effectively and profitably. Its settings also allow Google to direct users to its search engine by default. Two of the sources stated that the OpenAI browser will include a chat-based interface similar to ChatGPT, allowing users to conduct some interactions within the browser without clicking through to external websites.
