Baidu, the Chinese Google, will power Apple's iPhone 16 and iOs 18 operating system in China with ErnieBot's generative artificial intelligence models 'to solve legal compliance problems'. This was reported by Cailian Press, a platform affiliated with the Securities Times, according to which the US company had also approached Alibaba, later deciding 'to choose Baidu'.
The Chinese hi-tech company's stock jumped more than five per cent on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Apple CEO Tim Cook said yesterday on the sidelines of the China Development Forum in Beijing that the group will continue to increase its investment in research and development in China.
The US company sought an agreement with a local partner because regulators have to control all artificial intelligence models, the newspaper added.
Baidu is considered one of the leaders in artificial intelligence in China, where start-ups and technology giants are investing billions in developing an answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, which for regulatory reasons is not available in China.
