Reuters reported on July 9 that OpenAI is preparing to launch an "AI-powered web browser" in a bid to take a slice out of Google's ad revenue pie. While there isn't an official release date for this new browser yet, insiders at OpenAI told Reuters it "is slated to launch in the coming weeks."

The motivation behind this new browser, as Reuters points out, is to get more direct access to the user data that Google siphons off through Chrome. That data could serve a few purposes for OpenAI, particularly as a new well of training data for its AI models and as a source of revenue from targeted ads.
