Microsoft launched its AI-powered Bing and Edge search experience on 2023-02-07.
Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Judge as of 2023-02-07. True: on or before 2023-02-07, Microsoft announced the AI-powered Bing and Edge and made the new experience actually available to at least some public users (for example a limited desktop preview) that day. Mostly true: the experience was announced on 2023-02-07 and opened that day only in a very limited preview or through a waitlist, with broad access coming later. Mostly false: it was only announced on 2023-02-07, with no user access until a later date. False: no such product was announced or launched on or around that date.
Set before the research began.

“As of now, Microsoft is gating access to the new Bing and its AI features behind a waitlist.”
Reasoning
Microsoft's official blog on 2023-02-07 announced the AI-powered Bing and Edge as launching that day and 'available in preview now at Bing.com,' specifying a limited desktop preview with a waitlist for everyone else (E1, E2). TechCrunch independently reported the next day that access to the new Bing and its AI features was gated behind a waitlist (E3). The evidence shows the AI-powered Bing and Edge were announced on 2023-02-07 and opened that day in a limited desktop preview, with a waitlist for other users [E1][E2][E3].
