Alibaba to Launch AI Bot Rival to ChatGPT Amid China's Scrutiny.

Alibaba has unveiled its latest generative AI effort, Tongyi Qianwen, which will be integrated across the company's businesses to improve user experience. The large language model will allow customers and developers to create customised AI features. Alibaba has already put natural language to use in two apps, Dingtalk and Tmall Genie. However, China's top internet watchdog has released draft measures to regulate how tech companies should serve users with generative AI models, including requiring AI service providers to register their algorithms with the internet authority and verify users' identities.
