Huawei sets sights on ChatGPT's territory with 'NetGPT' trademark application

Thanks to the advancements made in artificial intelligence, particularly with OpenAI's ChatGPT language model, a growing number of tech giants are joining the AI trend. From Google and Microsoft to Facebook and Amazon, companies are investing heavily in AI research and development, seeking to leverage the technology's potential for everything from natural language processing to predictive analytics and autonomous systems.

Now, it appears that Huawei, the Chinese tech maker, is joining the competition in the AI space and is looking to challenge OpenAI with its own chatbot. The company has reportedly submitted a trademark application to China's trademark patent office for a potential chatbot named NetGPT. This move suggests that Huawei is aiming to make its mark in the AI industry and could potentially become a strong competitor to OpenAI in the future.

Huawei files trademark application for NetGPT

According to Huawei Central, Huawei has applied for the "Huawei NetGPT" trademark registration with China's trademark patent office on April 27. As stated, this move is "significant" as Huawei has previously shown interest in developing its own AI technologies rather than integrating ChatGPT. The trademark has been classified under Class 9 scientific instrument and is currently listed as "pending" in the trademark registration process.

There is currently no further information available about NetGPT, as the trademark filing does not provide any specific details about the technology. However, given the name "NetGPT," it is reasonable to assume that Huawei is planning to develop an AI chatbot system similar to ChatGPT.

While the trademark filing is still pending, it will be interesting to see how Huawei plans to differentiate its NetGPT chatbot from other similar AI technologies already on the market.
