Baidu Eyeing Expansion Into Generative AI and Metaverse
Chinese tech giant Baidu – often referred to as the Google of China – unveiled plans to expand in the areas of generative AI, the metaverse and quantum computing. In 2022, Baidu emerged as the world’s largest robotaxi service provider, with 1.4 million rides completed by the end of September. The company has signaled its intent to establish the world’s largest fully driverless ride-hailing service area in 2023. Baidu CEO Robin Li announced the news this week at the company’s annual AI developer conference, Create, which was held virtually in its XiRang metaverse platform and co-hosted by people and robots for the first time.
