[ad_1] SHANGHAI: Chinese search engine giant Baidu, has filed lawsuits against “relevant” app developers and Apple Inc over fake copies of its Ernie bot app available on Apple’s app store. The company’s artificial intelligence powered Ernie bot, launched last month, has been touted as China’s closest answer to the US-developed chatbot ChatGPT. Baidu said it had lodged lawsuits in Beijing Haidian People’s Court against the developers behind the counterfeit applications of its Ernie bot and the Apple company. “At present, Ernie does not have any official app,” Baidu said in a statement late on Friday posted on its official “Baidu AI” WeChat account. It also posted a photograph of its court filing. “Until our company’s official announcement, any Ernie app you see from App Store or other stores are fake,” it said. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Reuters search on Saturday found there were still at least four apps bearing the Chinese-language nam

This four-mile-long stretch of solar panels – nearly a million of them – will look to some like a bold step towards a clean-energy future, and to others like marketing disguised as social conscience, what cynics would call "virtue signaling." "I don't do virtue signaling, at all," said Apple CEO Tim Cook. "I don't believe in it. We want to do hard work."  What Cook means by hard work is making sure environmental choices make business sense: "I want to see that it pencils out, because I want other people to copy it. And I know they're not going to copy a decision that's not a good economic decision."

But in the U.S. the new device is spurring concern, along with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce.  At issue for American officials is the technology inside the Huawei phone, which reportedly includes an advanced 7-nanometer processor made by SMIC, China's top chipmaker, according to Capital Economics. With that chip, the phone has enough power and speed to rival Apple's iPhone, and it has been selling briskly in China. That is raising questions about the effectiveness of U.S. export controls, which have been aimed at curbing Huawei's ability to acquire cutting-edge components like advanced processors. Until now, those restrictions had effectively crippled Huawei's smartphone business.  "Prior to U.S. sanctions, the company was well on its way to becoming a global powerhouse," Capital Economics noted
