Baidu CEO Robin Li has called for increased investment in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development, despite the growth of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup. Li emphasized the importance of continued innovation in AI, citing its potential to drive economic growth and improve people's lives.
DeepSeek, which specializes in AI-powered computer vision, has made significant strides in recent years, with its valuation reaching billions of dollars. However, Li believes that more investment is needed to support the development of AI technology, particularly in areas such as natural language processing and machine learning.
Li's call for increased AI investment comes as China continues to push for dominance in the global AI landscape. The country has made significant strides in AI research and development, with many Chinese companies, including Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent, investing heavily in AI technology.
Baidu, in particular, has been at the forefront of AI innovation, with its AI-powered chatbot, Ernie Bot, gaining significant attention in recent years. The company has also made significant investments in AI research and development, with a focus on areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and autonomous driving.
