China's top SUV maker to add ChatGPT-like bot into cars

Marking the entry of AI systems into mass-market cars, Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor (GWM) is set to integrate Baidu’s ChatGPT-like AI system, which enables conversation between driver and car. GMW has partnered with technology firm Baidu to produce automobiles integrated with the latter's chatbot tool, Ernie Bot, bolstering a push to make cars more intelligent and user-friendly. Baidu's foundational AI model, the Ernie bot, is being pitched as a Chinese rival to OpenAI's ChatGPT. “Several innovative features have been tested in those vehicles that are being mass-produced. They will be gradually put into commercial use on a wide basis," said a GWM statement quoted by SCMP.
