Google China’s former chief Kai-Fu Lee is poised to sop up talent from China’s recent tech layoffs for a new artificial intelligence (AI) startup that will build apps and a platform in the vein of Microsoft-backed chatbot ChatGPT.
Lee dubbed the startup Project AI 2.0 in a post on his WeChat account on Sunday. It will be the seventh company incubated by his Beijing-based early-stage venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures.
