7th World Media Summit Closes in Beijing With AI as Hottest Theme
The 7th World Media Summit, held in Beijing from November 5 to 9 with nearly 330 leading media outlets, closed with artificial intelligence as the dominant topic, per November 9 tech-news roundups. The event debuted the world's first bionic humanoid robot news anchor, with filmmaker Zhang Yimou as image creator. Visiting foreign delegates toured Xiaomi's EV factory and remarked that "what's impressive about China is turning algorithms into products ordinary people can touch," citing 120-second one-piece die-casting and AI-driven manufacturing. The summit underscored a Chinese narrative that AI's value lies less in benchmarks than in tangible, mass-market products reaching consumers.
