Samsung Electronics China has teamed up with Baidu AI Cloud to make the AI features in Samsung’s latest top-end phone, the Galaxy S24 Series, better. They’re using Baidu’s advanced ERNIE model to add new tools and functions to Samsung’s phone AI.

This partnership makes the Galaxy S24 Series smarter with new abilities like making long texts short and clear, setting up text in a neat way, and translating calls as they happen. The updated Samsung Note Assistant, powered by ERNIE, now offers content translation and summarization into organized formats, which can quickly change content into shorter, easy-to-understand formats with just a button press.

The Galaxy S24 Series phones can now turn spoken words into written text right away, tell who’s speaking, and translate between different languages. This is especially helpful for people working in offices and those who need to talk in different languages.

A new feature in the S24 Series called “Circle to Search,” lets users search for things in texts, images, audio, or videos just by using simple gestures. This connects well with Baidu Search to give fast and accurate search results.

Chen Yifan, a top executive at Baidu, said that the ERNIE Bot will be used in more ways in the future. It’s really good at working with different kinds of data like text, pictures, sound, and video and can match what different users need. Baidu’s ERNIE 4.0, released last year, has made big improvements in AI and already has over 100 million users.

Baidu AI Cloud is also making it easier to develop AI apps with tools like ModelBuilder and AppBuilder, which help developers make customized AI models more easily.

In a bold move signaling China’s stride in artificial intelligence (AI), Baidu Inc.’s CEO, Robin Li, announced the latest version of their AI chatbot, Ernie Bot 4.0, at the Baidu World 2023 conference in Beijing. Li showcased Ernie’s remarkable ability to provide nuanced answers and solve intricate puzzles in real time. The tech mogul declared that Ernie Bot 4.0 has reached a level of sophistication comparable to OpenAI’s renowned GPT-4, marking a significant achievement in the race for AI supremacy.

Baidu, often dubbed China’s Google equivalent, has been investing aggressively in AI technology after witnessing the disruptive potential demonstrated by ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI. Despite challenges posed by US sanctions on advanced chips and Beijing’s stringent censorship, Baidu has managed to forge ahead.

Ernie Bot, which previously surpassed 45 million users, was put through a series of rigorous tests during the conference. Li tested its capabilities by asking complex questions about buying property, solving mathematical problems, and even requesting the chatbot to compose a novel set in the world of ancient martial arts. These demonstrations highlighted Ernie Bot’s enhanced understanding, prompting, reasoning, and memorization abilities.

Baidu’s journey in the AI landscape began earlier this year when Ernie Bot 3.5 outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 in comprehension. Building on this success, Ernie Bot 4.0 has now achieved parity with OpenAI’s GPT-4, making it a formidable contender in the global AI arena.

However, the competition remains fierce. While Ernie Bot has made significant strides, it is essential to note that ChatGPT boasts an estimated 180 million users, highlighting the dominance of OpenAI’s technology. Moreover, the absence of official availability of foreign products like ChatGPT in mainland China or Hong Kong has spurred Chinese tech giants such as Baidu and Alibaba Group Holding to innovate and create their own AI solutions tailored to local sensitivities.

Chinese authorities have issued new guidelines and regulations to ensure AI-generated content aligns with official narratives. Baidu’s Ernie Bot has adapted to these regulations by avoiding sensitive topics and redirecting conversations when necessary.

As Baidu continues to integrate Ernie Bot into flagship products such as search, maps, file-sharing, work collaboration, and data analytics, the tech giant remains at the forefront of China’s AI revolution.
