Baidu Inc. and Lenovo Group Limited have teamed up to integrate artificial intelligence technology. It was reported that the former will integrate its Ernie AI into Lenovo-branded mobile phones.
Expansion of Partnership for AI Technology
The latest agreement is an expansion since Baidu and Lenovo have already worked together on many projects before. For their new deal, the companies will join the increasing trend of integrating artificial intelligence features on mobile devices such as smartphones, as per BNN Breaking.
This strategic move is expected to push Baidu and Lenovo to the forefront of AI-enabled mobile devices in the Chinese market. The agreement will see Baidu’s Ernie chabot or large language model (LLM) added to Lenovo smartphones.
