TIANJIN — At the just concluded World Intelligence Expo 2026 in North China's Tianjin municipality, a smart mirror provided an instant snapshot of a person's health status, a robotic arm deftly prepared a savory Chinese crepe, and a robot played Go and told stories to children, as what once seemed like science fiction increasingly becomes part of everyday life in China.
The four-day expo, which closed on Sunday, brought together more than 700 exhibitors, showcasing cutting-edge technologies, products and application scenarios in the field of artificial intelligence.
Industry insiders at the venue said AI is accelerating its integration into education, public services, manufacturing and daily life, improving efficiency in traditional industries while creating new business models and growth opportunities.
At the booth of iFlytek Co Ltd, a leading Chinese AI company specializing in intelligent speech and AI technologies, a smart blackboard named iFlytek AI Board drew widespread attention.
