Hey tech fam! 🎉 The 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit just wrapped up in east Zhejiang Province in the Chinese mainland on Sunday. Over 1,600 guests from 130+ countries and regions gathered under the theme of building an open, cooperative, secure, and inclusive digital and intelligent future. 🌐
One standout was the Light of Internet expo, which turned Wuzhen into a playground for digital demos. With over 100 interactive exhibits and 17,000+ visitors in a single day, attendees experienced everything from AR street art to live AI music sets. 🤖🎶
Over 24 sub-forums covered five key pillars: development and cooperation, tech and industry, humanities and society, governance and security, and artificial intelligence. These deep-dive sessions sparked vibrant debates on topics like data privacy, digital rights, and the ethics of machine learning.
The summit also dropped two big reads: the China Internet Development Report 2025 and the World Internet Development Report 2025. Both highlight a major shift—AI is moving from simple technical breakthroughs to full-domain empowerment, driving real-world innovations in manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond. 🌍🏭🩺
According to the China report, 60% of global AI patents are held by the Chinese mainland, and local large models are optimizing for inference efficiency. The World report spotlights multimodal models and embodied intelligence as frontiers to watch.
Ma Hongbin, president of Kuaishou Technology, added that AI applications are scaling up fast, with services like Kling 2.5 Turbo already generating film-quality videos on demand. This momentum shows how tech can fuel new creative economies—from Mumbai’s indie filmmakers to Jakarta’s ad startups. 🎥🚀
On the policy front, experts agreed that AI governance needs a serious global push. Strengthening cooperation will help ensure this powerhouse tech stays safe, reliable, and benefits everyone. After nine years of blue book releases, the Wuzhen Summit remains a key hub for shaping cyberspace research and development. 🔒🤝
