AI token gains on Friday 

The recent developments in the AI sector have likely catalyzed the gains. Computers and IT technology company OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch its own search engine on Monday, per a Reuters report, in a bid to compete with Google.

The report states that the target date is a day before Google kicks off its annual I/O conference, where the firm is expected to present its AI offerings Gemini and Gemma. Several sources have identified Monday as the target date for Open AI’s search feature’s debut.
