Among them, the overseas edition of the TeleAgent platform will make its debut in Asia-Pacific first, and China Telecom will promote the development of its AIDC business through diverse cooperation models, jointly exploring localized operation and commercialization pathways for AI services.

In terms of industry applications and ecosystem collaboration, Jeff Shi, President of Asia Pacific and Group Vice President of Strategy at SenseTime, spoke on taking Chinese AI innovation global, sharing ideas from Token factories to industry applications and discussing how full-stack AI capabilities, combined with industry scenarios, can enable solutions to be deployed locally across different markets.
