Baidu's Ernie Ai Chatbot Clones Were Stopped By Apple Through Legal Action

To halt the influx of bogus Ernie bot apps from surfacing in the App Store, Chinese technology company Baidu has filed a lawsuit against Apple and many app developers. Baidu is suing Apple and the creators of imitation Ernie bot apps in a lawsuit that was launched on Friday in Beijing Haidian People's Court. It aims to compel Apple to remove the problematic bogus apps and prevent app developers from distributing them. In its lawsuit, Baidu claimed that it has filed claims against Apple and the creators of the imitators of its Ernie bot in Beijing Haidian People's Court. In a statement published by its authorized "Baidu AI" WeChat account, Baidu stated that "Ernie does not currently have any official apps."
