Economic Times · 1y

Chinese internet company Baidu announced that its artificial intelligence chatbot "Ernie Bot" has gained over 200 million users and is being used 200 million times daily. The chatbot, launched eight months ago, has attracted a large user base and is a popular choice for individuals and enterprise clients in China. Despite competition from other domestic AI services like Alibaba-backed Kimi, the Baidu chatbot remains the most widely used in China. However, globally, Baidu's AI service still lags behind OpenAI's ChatGPT, which remains the most popular generative AI service.
