Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is an integral part of our lives today more than ever before. The journey, which began with digital assistants for end users, continues with chatbots. As you are aware, the internet has been impacted by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in recent months, and its success has influenced other companies, leading to the development of new chatbots. According to the latest reports, Baidu planning to launch an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot service. Here are the details…
Baidu to launch ChatGPT-style bot in March
The Chinese tech giant Baidu may not be widely known in the West, but it is highly popular in Asia, where it holds the title of the top search engine. Recent reports indicate that Baidu plans to launch an AI chatbot service similar to OpenAI‘s ChatGPT in March. The new chatbot will be available as a standalone app, and will also be integrated into the search engine.
Chatbots in China currently focus on social interaction whereas ChatGPT performs better at more professional tasks, such as programming and essay writing. Baidu plans to incorporate chatbot-generated results when users make search requests. So what is the reason for the increased interest?
In fact, two interrelated factors are driving the surge in interest. One is the high demand from users. Millions of people worldwide use ChatGPT, putting a strain on the company’s servers at times. The other is the potential brought by this high demand. For instance, OpenAI recently received a $10 billion investment from Microsoft, a deal that any company would want.
Baidu has been focused on expanding its revenue sources through to AI technology. This has included investments in cloud services, chips, and autonomous driving. Baidu’s goal is to diversify its income stream by leveraging AI technology. Recently, at a developer conference, the company introduced three AI-powered “creators” designed to replace screenwriters, illustrators, editors, and animators. These advancements showcase Baidu’s commitment to AI technology and its potential to revolutionize various industries.
