Baidu's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot 'Ernie' will likely be installed in Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S24 series to be released in China.
CNBC and The Verge reported on the twenty sixth (local time) that Samsung Electronics and Baidu are collaborating to use Ernie to the Galaxy S24 sold in China.
In response to this, Samsung Electronics initially introduced its own ‘Galaxy AI’ and Google’s ‘Gemini Nano’ and Gemini ‘Pro’ ‘Imagen 2’ technologies to the Galaxy S24, enabling on-device AI, real-time interpretation, search, and photography. Provides correction functions, etc.
Nonetheless, in China, it’s reported that Ernie, who studied Chinese, will participate of the role.
“Now equipped with Ernie’s understanding and creation capabilities, the upgraded Samsung Notes Assistant can translate content with the press of a button and summarize long content into a transparent, intelligently organized format, streamlining extensive text composition,” the 2 firms said in an official announcement. “You possibly can do it,” he said.
That is as a consequence of the situation in China, where government approval is required to service chatbots or generated AI to users. Baidu also launched Ernie with Chinese government approval on August 31 last 12 months.
If the Galaxy S24 is launched in China with Galaxy AI and Google technology, separate approval should be obtained from the Chinese government. Nonetheless, it’s unlikely that the answers Google searches provide to political questions will likely be approved by the Chinese government. The truth is, Android smartphones in China don’t include Google apps.
Due to this fact, the evaluation is that this partnership is a set procedure.
Meanwhile, Ernie was updated to version 4.0 in October last 12 months. On the time, Baidu CEO Leon Hong said, “That is essentially the most powerful Erniebot model that has appeared to this point, and its comprehensive level is comparable to that of ‘GPT-4.’” Also, in December, it was announced that the variety of users exceeded 100 million inside 4 months of launch.
It was also analyzed that this partnership is an attempt by Samsung Electronics to expand its influence in China. Samsung Electronics once ranked first in Chinese smartphone market share, but in response to this week's data from market research firm IDC, it’s currently not even in the highest five. Currently, Apple (17.3%) ranks first in Chinese smartphone market share.
