China's A.I. chatbots haven't yet reached the public like ChatGPT did

Summary
Two months after the launch of ChatGPT in China, similar AI-based products have yet to reach the general population. Most well-known alternatives released by Baidu, Alibaba, and others have limited access with waitlists or restricted trials to business partners. ChatGPT, created by U.S.-based OpenAI, reached an estimated 100 million monthly active users in just two months. However, it is not available in China due to the government's internet firewall. Chinese companies have rushed to release and test alternative products, but publicly available figures indicate that similar AI products in China are not as widely available. Regulatory uncertainty lingers while Beijing remains in the comment period for its generative AI draft rules. Another challenge for companies in China will be obtaining the most advanced chips for training AI models, as the U.S. has announced stringent export bans aimed at restricting China's access to high-end semiconductors.
