Microsoft could launch the new feature before the end of March, and hopes to challenge Alphabet-owned search engine Google (GOOGL.O),the San Francisco-based technology news website said in a report.
Microsoft said in a blog post last year that it planned to integrate image-generation software from OpenAI, DALL-E 2, into Bing.
