The 2024 Innovation Conference kicked off in Shanghai on Thursday with the launch of a new lab targeting the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Experts and scholars from renowned universities and research institutions, along with leaders from technology companies and financial institutions gathered to discuss prospective applications in artificial intelligence, biomedicine and other areas.

At the opening ceremony, an artificial intelligence technology and governance innovation laboratory, jointly established by China Media Group (CMG) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was launched.

The laboratory will focus on exploring the innovative applications of "responsible AI" technology, as well as the innovation and reform of AI governance systems and mechanisms.

CMG has also launched a new round of strategic cooperation with the three major Chinese wireless carriers, China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile, to deepen the integrated development of ultra-high-definition (UHD) video on both large and small screens.

A batch of independent innovative technological achievements in 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) shooting, production, broadcasting, and transmission were released.

The White Paper on Science and Technology Innovation 2024 was also released.

Other sub-forums on fields such as financial innovation, large models, application of technology achievements, biomedicine, and the low-altitude economy are set to be held.

One day ahead of the humanoid robot half-marathon in E-Town of southwestern Beijing, the Chinese capital city hosted a pioneering robot contest on Saturday, highlighting breakthroughs in mobility, obstacle handling, and emergency response.

The 2026 Robot Warrior Challenge, co-hosted by the People's Government of Beijing Municipality and China Media Group (CMG), covers 17 obstacle courses simulating emergency relief scenarios of earthquakes, floods and fires, making it China's first full-scale, real-world emergency rescue contest for robots. A total of 37 teams from 19 companies and universities took part in the contest, competing across categories of humanoid, quadruped and wheel-legged robots, testing their embodied intelligence capabilities.

"The Robot Warrior Challenge is highly significant to verification of future data collection in real scenarios and improvement of data model algorithms. At the same time, it also poses significant challenges and engineering verifications in terms of the reliability, security and stability of the hardware. This year's event will vigorously promote transition of robotics toward knowledge application scenarios in future," said Liang Liang, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.
