Baidu has announced that it will be launching an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot designed to rival the innovative ChatGPT bot from OpenAI. The new chatbot will be integrated into the search engine and offered as a standalone app. Baidu has been increasing its income streams using AI technologies, including financial commitments to semiconductors, cloud computing, and driverless cars. Baidu wants to use AI technology to broaden its revenue sources and streamline daily tasks.
ChatGPT excels in more professional skills like programming and essay writing, whereas Chinese chatbots like Baidu’s focus on social engagement. When consumers do searches on Baidu, chatbot-generated results will be included.
Baidu also recently announced three AI-powered "creators" which replace screenwriters, illustrators, animators, and editors.
