Baidu Seeks to Collaborate with Indian Institutes on Artificial Intelligence Analytics Insight

Chinese search engine giant Baidu is looking to work with Indian institutes as the company looks for local expertise in AI. As India is the second-largest home in terms of the internet user base, with nearly 12 percent in the world, Baidu Co-Founder, CEO and Chairman Robin Li is seeing the country as an opportunity for areas such as artificial intelligence. On his first-ever visit to India, Robin talked here at IIT Madras Tech Fest, Shaastra 2020, titled Innovation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI). He said the company is looking to work with Indian institutions in the future to make a better world through innovation. India is one of the fastest-growing smartphone markets in the world, and a very large developing country, right next to China.
