【明報專訊】In the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence (AI), "generative AI" has become the most eye-catching AI application recently. In the US, the AI chatbot programme ChatGPT has made a splash, attracting many to give it a try. Users only have to input a little information and the system will generate an article automatically. In China, Baidu is also planning to launch a similar product called "ERNIE Bot" (Wenxin Yiyan) next month. As China runs neck and neck with the US in the AI field, the technology race is set to become even more intense in the future.
