AI+empowers industrial upgrading, Boao guests discuss new trends

2026-03-26   

The Tianyi 2.0 robot, capable of real-time conversation and equipped with a embodied intelligent emotional model, and the machine dog "Bozai" that achieves 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring through "intelligent terminal+AI model", as well as the coffee master robot that can complete the "zero carbon traceability" of coffee beans throughout the entire chain... At the Boao Forum for Asia 2026 Annual Conference, the intelligent robot "Tiantuan" shuttled around busy and showed their abilities. During the forum, multiple themed exchange activities also focused on in-depth discussions on artificial intelligence. The attending guests generally believe that currently, artificial intelligence is shifting from single point technological breakthroughs to the integration of all domain scenarios, and "AI+" has become a key force in promoting the transformation of traditional industries and empowering thousands of industries to improve quality and upgrade. Zhang Yaqin, an academician of the CAE Member and president of the Institute of Intelligent Industry of Tsinghua University, said: "This year, there are three major trends in the field of artificial intelligence: first, from generative AI to intelligent AI, covering industries, consumption, pharmaceuticals and other fields; Secondly, artificial intelligence is extending from information intelligence to physical intelligence and biological intelligence; The third is the acceleration of AI's transformation towards' AI+', where AI is no longer just a key technology, but deeply integrated into various industries. AI is not only a practical tool, but also represents a new AI thinking. Various enterprises need to use AI thinking to carry out management and innovate underlying concepts. ”In the view of Zheng Yongnian, Dean of the School of Public Policy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and Dean of the Qianhai Institute of International Affairs, from the four end structure of artificial intelligence technology, information, large model, and application, China has comprehensive advantages in application scenarios, covering the entire industry chain from low-end to high-end, especially in the industrial field with rich scenarios, providing a solid foundation for technology landing. He said, "In the field of artificial intelligence, ultimately, we need to consider landing scenarios, especially seizing China's advantages and opportunities in the vertical model field." When it comes to the industrial landing path of "AI+," Chinese technology company leaders shared their exploration experience based on their own practice. Vivo AI Vice President Zhang Fei stated that mobile phones will not only be communication tools, but also the "first site" for AI landing. Mobile phone companies will focus on AI technology research and development and landing, promote the evolution of mobile phones towards intelligent agents, and help solve various problems in technology applications. Shen Jianguang, Vice President and Chief Economist of JD Group, used AI to empower the entire supply chain process as an example to introduce the feasible path of AI empowerment. JD.com is a technology company based on the supply chain. Currently, all aspects of warehousing and logistics have been empowered by AI, effectively improving labor productivity and operational efficiency. Practice has proven that artificial intelligence models are injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of enterprises. ”Shen Jianguang said. From China's practice to the world's opportunities, the future of artificial intelligence has accelerated. Sang Baichuan, Dean of the China Open Economy Theory Research Institute at the University of International Business and Economics, believes that intelligence is the core theme of the new round of industrial revolution. Currently, the iteration speed of artificial intelligence technology continues to accelerate, and countries are seizing development opportunities. Strengthening international cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence, integrating advantageous resources of various countries, will significantly improve the overall efficiency of global AI technology research and development and scenario applications. Among them, Asian small and medium-sized enterprises have shown strong vitality in the field of AI. The 2026 Annual Report on Asian Economic Prospects and Integration Processes believes that the global focus of artificial intelligence development is shifting from Europe and America to Asia. Relying on a large digital population, rich application scenarios, and systematic policy promotion, Asian economies are transforming from AI followers to leaders. From the data, Asian small and medium-sized enterprises accounted for about 28% of the global artificial intelligence unicorn companies last year. From the perspective of regional cooperation, Asia has a strong desire for AI technology, hoping to seize opportunities and avoid falling behind in this wave of AI. ”Yu Xiaohui, President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, stated. Hu Jianyu, Managing Partner of Deloitte China's Sustainability and Emerging Technologies Assurance Business, also pointed out that AI applications in the Asia Pacific region have crossed the technological threshold and are transforming into a form of inclusive productivity. Taking the field of embodied intelligent robots as an example, international cooperation is crucial. ”Wang Xiaogang, co-founder of SenseTime Technology and chairman of Daxiao Robotics, said, "We will further develop environmental data collection and open source the Enlightenment World model. At the same time, we will uphold the concept of open collaboration to promote the work of humanoid robots and deepen international collaboration with an open attitude." While technology is rapidly iterating forward, AI governance issues have also become the core focus of forum discussions. Xue Lan, Dean of the Su Shimin Academy and the Institute of Artificial Intelligence International Governance at Tsinghua University, stated that there is still vast potential for cooperation and development opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence. Countries should abandon differences, engage in deep international cooperation, jointly prevent various risks that artificial intelligence may bring, and promote the development of technology towards goodness. In the era of intelligent agents, the focus of future artificial intelligence governance will be on vertical application scenarios: on the one hand, we need to promote the organic integration of AI vertical domain governance with the existing industry governance system; On the other hand, it is necessary to systematically integrate the current scattered and fragmented governance norms and laws and regulations, and extract governance principles with universal guiding significance. ”Xue Lan said.
