According to reports, Baidu, the largest search engine in China, will debut its own AI chatbot in March 2023, which would be comparable to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Baidu intends to release the service as a separate application before incorporating it into its search engine. Although the name has yet to be decided, users will be able to receive search results that are conversational in nature, similar to ChatGPT.

Also known as China’s Google, Baidu is also working on autonomous driving technologies besides AI research.

In addition to Baidu, several Chinese companies investigating generative AI have drawn the interest of investors, including Sequoia and Sinovation Ventures.
