"Baidu's 'Ernie Bot' AI Chatbot Draws 200 Million Users"

Baidu's AI chatbot "Ernie Bot" has amassed over 200 million users and is being used 200 million times daily through its API, with 85,000 enterprise clients. The chatbot, approved for public release in China last August, faces competition from rival AI services like Alibaba-backed Moonshot AI's "Kimi." Despite rapid growth, Chinese generative AI services still trail behind Western counterparts, with OpenAI's ChatGPT remaining the most popular globally. China has expedited approvals for AI services, recognizing AI as a key area for competition with the U.S.

Baidu's Ernie Bot Approved for Public Release in China

Chinese tech giant Baidu has received approval from Beijing to release its ChatGPT-like Ernie bot to the public, indicating a more relaxed policy stance on artificial intelligence. Initially limited to business partners and a waitlist, Ernie bot is now accessible without the need for a Chinese ID number. Chinese companies have been announcing generative AI projects following the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which is not officially allowed in China due to internet restrictions. China's "interim regulation" for generative AI services, effective since August 15, allows companies to develop AI tech as long as it is not available to the mass public. Baidu CEO Robin Li sees the new rules as pro-innovation and is optimistic about a better regulatory environment.

Baidu said it had lodged lawsuits in Beijing Haidian People's Court against the developers behind the counterfeit applications of its Ernie bot and the Apple company.

Baidu's Ernie Bot Launch Delayed Amid Advancements and Capabilities Revealed.

Baidu's new AI-driven chatbot, Ernie Bot, was set to be showcased via livestream to the public on Monday, but the event was changed to a closed-door meeting with potential corporate clients due to "strong demand" from 120,000 firms that want to test-drive the bot. A session for the media will be held at a later date. Ernie Bot's official rollout was on March 16, but its debut was "muted" and faced obstacles due to China's internet censorship. Baidu shares plummeted by as much as 4.5% on Monday morning due to the last-minute change.

Baidu's Ernie AI chatbot struggles to impress investors.

Baidu, China's search engine giant, introduced its Ernie Bot, a chatbot that is considered the closest Chinese candidate to build an equivalent to the OpenAI chatbot. However, the launch was underwhelming as Baidu opted for a lengthy presentation with pre-recordings of Ernie's answers instead of a live demo. Ernie is only available for testing through invitation and others need to get on a waitlist. The company's shares slumped as much as 10% in Hong Kong following the presentation.

Baidu CEO Robin Li said that 650 companies have already signed up to use ERNIE Bot's technology, but it's not ready for a public debut yet.

Baidu's Ernie AI chatbot fails to impress, shares tumble.

Baidu unveiled its AI-powered chatbot, Ernie Bot, which can do math, write poems, generate images and video. However, the lack of a public launch and scripted event with pre-recorded videos disappointed investors, causing Baidu's shares to tumble. Ernie Bot will only be open for trial to an initial group of users with invitation codes from Thursday, while companies can apply to embed the bot into their products via Baidu's cloud platform. Baidu is seen as a leader in a race in China among tech giants and startups to develop a rival to Microsoft's ChatGPT.
