Amidst the intensifying competition in the AI sector, Baidu's ERNIE Bot has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 200 million monthly active users. Baidu has seamlessly integrated ERNIE Bot into its flagship search engine application, both in the mobile app and PC versions. Furthermore, it has established connections with widely - used apps like JD.com, Meituan, and Ctrip, as well as platforms such as Baidu Maps and Baidu Health. This integration empowers users to carry out a diverse range of tasks, and they have the flexibility to select from various AI models. In the meantime, prominent Chinese tech giants like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent are also making substantial investments in the AI field. Last week, Alibaba announced that it is incorporating its QianWen chatbot into its consumer ecosystem. Impressively, the app amassed over 100 million monthly active users within just two months of its launch in November of the previous year.
