Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.

One of the biggest topics underlying the hype bonanza since OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT two weeks ago has been: What does this mean for Google search? 

But it was only on Tuesday evening that Google appeared to finally weigh in on the topic: CNBC reported that employees raised concerns at a recent all-hands meeting that the company was losing its competitive edge in artificial intelligence (AI) given ChatGPT’s quick rise.

“Is this a missed opportunity for Google, considering we’ve had Lamda for a while?” read one top-rated question.

You.com opens up search platform to generative apps
