HONG KONG, Sept 6 (Reuters) - China's internet giant
Tencent Holdings  0700.HK  said that it will unveil an
artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot on Thursday, according to a
social media post it published on Wednesday.
    The post featured a demo conversation a user had with the AI
chatbot, which helped the user write promotional materials. 
    It comes after China started to approve AI chatbots for
public release last month. Other big tech companies in China
including Baidu Inc  9888.HK  and SenseTime Group  0200.HK 
released their AI chatbots last week.
