AI Everywhere: Unmanned Stores to Smart Classrooms
On Friday, the 2025 Chinese mainland International Digital Economy Expo kicked off in Shijiazhuang, in the north of the Chinese mainland's Hebei Province. This ultra-cool expo is showcasing next-level AI tools that are set to reshape everything from retail to education.
The expo floor is a playground for tech geeks, social innovators, and anyone curious about how digital tech is shaking up industries. Here’s a quick roundup:
- Unmanned stores 🤖🛍️: Self-checkout and AI-powered stock management mean you might soon grab mango lassi from a vending wall in your city one day.
- Smart classrooms 👩💻🏫: Adaptive learning systems that tailor lessons to each student’s pace – imagine your math prep getting a personal AI tutor in Dhaka or Manila.
Beyond the gadgets, global experts are diving into discussions on how to keep digital growth inclusive and sustainable 🌱. They’re exploring ways to ensure smaller businesses and underrepresented communities across South and Southeast Asia can ride the AI wave – from setting up local data hubs to offering workshops in multiple languages.
For our fast-paced lives, these AI-driven solutions promise to make everyday tasks smoother, whether it’s booking a ride, ordering groceries, or studying for exams. Stay tuned – the expo is just the beginning of a digital revolution that’s as diverse and vibrant as our own cities. ✨
