Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba said on Thursday it was currently working on a rival to Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
The company joins a number of tech firms racing to get a piece of the market, with Google also launching its own model, Google Bard.
ChatGPT’s competence has caused widespread concern amongst medical and educational professionals.
Alibaba is now working on a ChatGPT-style conversation bot of its own that is being tested by employees, a company spokeswoman told AFP on Thursday.
