OpenAI recommends that the UK include AI chatbots in Google search options.

CoinFeed reported on March 23 that OpenAI, in a public consultation submitted to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on March 6, suggested that the eligibility criteria for Google Search's selection page should explicitly include AI chatbots with search capabilities, allowing these services to be selected as the default search service by users on Android devices and through Chrome. OpenAI believes that services like ChatGPT can already achieve extensive information discovery through conversational or multimodal methods, and are functionally similar to Google Search's AI Overviews and AI Mode; if the draft continues to focus on traditional search design, it may exclude these new types of services.
