Apple Eyes AI Partnerships in China with Tencent and ByteDance
苹果寻求与腾讯和字节跳动合作，在中国发展AI业务
Apple is in early talks with Tencent and ByteDance to bring its AI services to China, where local partnerships are required, Reuters reports. Previous efforts with Baidu stalled over data privacy disputes, as Baidu sought access to iPhone user data, violating Apple’s policies. Tencent, with its Hunyuan AI model and Yuanbao chatbot, and ByteDance, leveraging its Doubao chatbot, are strong contenders in China’s AI race. An alliance could benefit all parties, potentially boosting Tencent and ByteDance’s AI dominance while enabling Apple to expand its AI reach in the region.
据路透社报道，苹果正与腾讯和字节跳动进行初步谈判，计划将其AI服务引入中国市场，而这需要与本地企业合作。此前，苹果与百度的合作因数据隐私争议受阻，因百度试图获取iPhone用户数据，违反了苹果的隐私政策。腾讯凭借其混元AI模型和元宝聊天机器人，以及字节跳动依托豆宝聊天机器人，在中国AI竞争中占据领先地位。此次合作有望让三方受益，既能助力腾讯和字节跳动巩固其AI领域的优势，也为苹果在中国扩展AI业务铺平道路。
