Chinese search giant Baidu to launch ChatGPT like AI chatbot.
Chinese search giant Baidu is planning to launch an AI chatbot similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. A person close to the development confirmed that the application will roll out in March and would be fixed in Baidu’s primary search services.
The yet-unnamed tool will aid users in conversation-style service, support and engagement, thereby possibly replacing support personnel and live operators. Baidu’s latest development comes just a few weeks after OpenAI’s ChatGPT created a furore upon its launch in November 2022. ChatGPT amassed more than a million users within days, thanks to its articulate answers and detailed problem-solving approach.
According to a Bloomberg report, the source also revealed that Baidu’s ERNIE system will form the base of the upcoming chatbot tool. For the unversed, ERNIE (Enhanced Representation through kNowledge IntEgration) is a machine-learning model trained on data for many years.
ERNIE has garnered appreciation in the NLP community for outperforming Google’s BERT in various Chinese language tasks.
