Baidu’s Chief Technology Officer, Wang Haifeng, has revealed that the chatbot ERNIE now has over 100 million registered accounts. This milestone comes after ERNIE was made publicly available in early September. Baidu introduced ERNIE back in March, not long after the surge in popularity of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Initially, Baidu allowed limited testing of ERNIE to a select group of authorized companies due to the overwhelming response it received.
Over the past period, Baidu’s CEO, Robin Li, has consistently emphasized the importance of the chatbot ERNIE as a significant opportunity for the company to gain a larger market share by incorporating AI into its core products, including search, cloud services, and smart vehicles.
TLDR: Baidu’s chatbot, ERNIE, now has over 100 million registered accounts, marking a significant achievement since its public release in September. The CEO, Robin Li, sees ERNIE as an opportunity to boost Baidu’s market presence by integrating AI into their key offerings, such as search, cloud services, and smart vehicles.
