Opera’s webbrowsers, including its Opera GX, may soon be next to receive theChatGPTupgrade if its parent firm has anything to say about it.

According toCNBCand reported on byNeowin, Opera’s parent company Kunlun Tech plans on integrating the hugely popularOpenAIprogram ChatGPT into its own products. So far there have been no confirmations on which products those would be, or whether that includes its Opera andOpera GXweb browsers.

This announcement comes on the heels ofMicrosoftandGooglerevealing their own ChatGPT-like products, with the former integrating it into bothBingandEdgewhile the latter’sBard AIwill be attached to Google Search. And it’s been revealed that both theChinese search engine BaiduandChinese firm Alibabaare set to release their own ChatGBT clones.

Why use ChatGPT?

As ChatGPT grows in popularity, tech giants have been rushing to get their own versions of the OpenAI program out the door, whether as completely separate programs or attached to existing services.

According to the latest data fromStatcounter, Opera’s current market share in the desktop browser market is 3.41%, the lowest of the major browsers. Integrating its browsers with its own version of ChatGBT could most certainly bump up that percentage, especially if it offers a higher quality experience than its competitors.

Of course, this is pure speculation as we don’t know which of Kunlun Tech’s products will be getting the AI program treatment, but considering how many browsers have already rolled out similar ones, it makes the most sense for Opera to be next in line.

There’s a risk to investing in such new technology, as we’ve seenhow much damagebad actors can cause with it. Not to mention plagiarism, dangerous misinformation spreading, andother major issuesbecause of it. Still, it’salready energized the nearly terminal Microsoft Bing search engine, so it’s likely to help give Opera a shot in thearmas well.
