Baidu's AI Sales Soar, Surpassing Expectations

Baidu's generative AI model, Ernie, is starting to contribute to the company's revenue, potentially boosting advertising revenue during an economic downturn. Baidu reported a 6% rise in revenue to 34.4 billion yuan ($4.8 billion) in the third quarter, with Ernie expected to generate hundreds of millions of yuan in additional ad revenue in Q4 2023. Baidu's CEO, Robin Li, stated that Ernie is handling tens of millions of queries daily, and the company plans to invest in this growth opportunity. Baidu is considered a frontrunner in China's AI industry and has integrated Ernie into its flagship products. However, Baidu faces competition from other tech giants and the impact of US chip curbs.

Baidu sues Apple and developers over fake Ernie chatbot apps.

Baidu has filed a lawsuit against Apple and some app makers for allowing fake copies of its ERNIE AI chatbot to appear in the App Store. ERNIE is Baidu's answer to the West's ChatGPT, but is currently only available in a limited preview to those with test accounts. Baidu has stated that there are no official releases of the chatbot, and any ERNIE Bot app found on the App Store and other application stores is fake. Baidu's ERNIE is considered a front runner in China’s race to secure a domestic analogue to OpenAI's GPT series.

Baidu's Ernie Bot fails to impress, shares drop.

Baidu's shares fell by 10% after the company's AI chatbot Ernie failed to impress during its first public release. The company only showed a pre-recorded video of the chatbot, leaving viewers unsure if it could compete with Microsoft-backed ChatGPT. Baidu founder Robin Li admitted that the company was only showing a demo of the technology that it had prepared earlier. Ernie's planned launch comes as US groups such as OpenAI and Google continue making strides in pushing forward their development of generative AI.
