Agentic AI products covering everything from cross-border trade to international sporting events took center stage at the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai.
The four-day 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance concluded on Monday.
One of the Agentic AI products on display at the conference allows users to generate a visualized industry report in just two or three minutes, which is a task that would have previously taken several hours.
"It can handle repetitive tasks through AI agents, mobilize a wide range of specialized skills and tools on the market, sense the environment to proactively clarify your intent, plan the next steps, and ultimately deliver a result to you," said Li Jingqiu, an exhibitor.
Another highlight is an AI platform that helps cross-border enterprises thrive.
"We have more advanced AI large-model development technologies to help cross-border enterprises improve business evaluation, financial compliance, smart logistics, and overseas marketing across various scenarios," said Liang Shun, an exhibitor.
The Agentic Payment Open Protocol launched by Chinese card payment giant China UnionPay at the event establishes a unified trust mechanism and interaction standard, allowing businesses to seamlessly and securely join the payment platform.
"We have already completed verified transactions with dozens of ecosystem partners in multiple real-world scenarios, including overseas hotel bookings, in-vehicle agent payments, AI-powered flight reservations, bill payments through UnionPay Yunshanfu app, and offline smart ordering. This breaks down the barriers between agents from different vendors and accelerates the formation of a fully integrated smart ecosystem," said UnionPay's Wang Yujie.
A token factory system showcased at the event displayed how computing power, data, and model capabilities are orchestrated to continuously generate stable, intelligent resources -- providing the foundational support for AI to enter a wide range of industries. The system powered the 2026 FIFA World Cup, serving as the underlying computing infrastructure for the tournament's AI applications.
The technology on display at the event brings AI from the lab into the real world to serve professional decision-making, showing that AI agents are no longer an abstract, technical concept, but have become tangible, applicable, and verifiable productivity tools.
