Tencent vice-president shares company's plans for ChatGPT-like robot

Chinese tech company Tencent Holdings is developing its own ChatGPT-like robot, shared the company's senior vice-president Dowson Tong at the ongoing Boao Forum for Asia.

With the move, Tencent became the latest Chinese tech firm to jump onto the ChatGPT bandwagon, despite Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk and dozens of other technology leaders called on AI labs to cease training models more powerful than GPT-4.

Tong disclosed that the chat robot will be linked to the company's current social media platforms including QQ and WeChat, as well as Tencent Cloud.
