Baidu, the largest search engine company in China, is set to introduce a new AI chatbot service similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT in March, according to recent report.
The application will be initially embedded in the main search services and will provide conversation-style search results. The tool’s foundation will be Baidu’s Ernie system, a large-scale machine-learning model trained on data over several years. A Baidu representative declined to comment on the development.
According to current sources, Chat GPT reached a million subscribers barely five days after it was established in November 2022. This is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly in light of the long time it has taken other well-known online platforms to achieve a comparable milestone. With its ability to create natural language, Chat GPT is a potent AI tool that may be used for a wide range of applications. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has become the first choice among its users because of its capacity to replicate human language, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates has expressed interest in it because of its potential to replace workers in white-collar positions.

Apart from Baidu, several Chinese startups are also exploring generative AI and have attracted investors like Sequoia and Sinovation Ventures. Despite a heavily censored domestic internet, ChatGPT has also piqued the interest of Chinese internet users who have shared screenshots of surprising conversations with the AI bot on local social media.
