OpenAI launches Study Mode for ChatGPT, intensifying a battle with Google over the future of AI-powered education

It’s a strange glimpse into the human mind: If you filter search results on Google, Bing, and other search engines to only include URLs from the domain “https://chatgpt.com/share,” you can find strangers’ conversations with ChatGPT.

OpenAI wants ChatGPT to know more about you, including your emails, calendar events in Google Calendar and even your Google contacts to reference everything in a conversation.

It's not hard to imagine OpenAI CEO Sam Altman uses his company's own product, ChatGPT, instead of Google Search.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed interest in acquiring Google Chrome, as the US government mandates its sale. This follows a report of Perplexity AI's $34.5 billion offer. Altman also mentioned OpenAI's plans for an AI browser and a new AI-powered social media app.

The rollout was even messy enough to spill into betting markets. One 27-year-old day trader, Foster McCoy, pocketed $10,000 in just a few hours by wagering that Google’s Gemini would beat GPT-5 in a popularity contest.

The General Services Administration signs this new OneGov pact to help agencies adopt advanced artificial intelligence tools as part of the Trump administration’s push for AI leadership.
