这则报道揭示了三星Galaxy S24在中国采用百度替代谷歌的人工智能功能。此举可能是为了适应中国市场，但也反映了对本土技术的依赖。百度的Ernie聊天机器人取得政府批准后成为主力，显示了中国科技在全球竞争中的崛起。然而，三星在中国产品页面上并未提及谷歌的Gemini AI，可能是出于避免政治敏感问题的考虑。这一变化凸显了科技公司在全球化中的挑战，需要在不同市场间谨慎权衡技术合作与政治因素。报道中未提及的细节，或许是谷歌在中国面临的局限性和政策限制，也值得深入关注。
The Samsung Galaxy S24 isn’t taking Google’s Gemini AI with it to China. CNBC reported Friday that the Chinese version of the flagship phone uses Baidu’s Ernie chatbot to power the phone’s AI-powered features. Ernie arrived last August after reportedly receiving Chinese government approval.
“Now featuring Ernie’s understanding and generation capabilities, the upgraded Samsung Note Assistant can translate content and also summarize lengthy content into clear, intelligently organized formats at the click of a button, streamlining the organization of extensive text,” Baidu and Samsung told CNBC in a joint statement.
Samsung’s description of the Galaxy S24 series on its Chinese website advertises many of the same Google-powered features it debuted last week in its San Jose, CA, launch event. These include a version of Circle to Search, real-time call translation, a transcription helper and a photo assistant. The Chinese Galaxy S24 product pages don’t have any references to Google, which has limited operations in the country.
A recent report suggests Apple recently ended Samsung’s 14-year run as the global smartphone shipment leader. In addition, IDC published data this week suggesting the iPhone maker claimed the top spot in the Chinese market (with a 17.3-percent market share) for the first time in 2023. Samsung didn’t make the top five.
Engadget has tried the Galaxy S24 series, including the standard, Plus and Ultra variants. Samsung’s 2024 flagship phone lineup launches in the US on January 31.
