The Exploration of AI Knows No Bounds

In the subsequent round - table forum session, Fan Jialai, the chief reporter of The Paper, Fang Hui, the chief strategist of Century Huatong, Tao Yangfeng, the executive director of Zero One Capital, and Sun Hui, the CTO of The Paper and the CEO of PaiShengWanWu, discussed the topic of "How AI Can Reconstruct the Boundaries of Games".

Round - table session

Fang Hui compared the current application of AI in the game field to autonomous driving in the automotive field, believing that it is still in the L1 stage as a whole. Regarding the different strategies of small and medium - sized enterprises and large companies in resource accumulation and exploring AI game innovation, he believes that the AI game market is not a winner - takes - all situation. Century Huatong will provide support in infrastructure, investment cooperation, and computing power for various excellent startup teams to jointly promote the development of the industry.

Tao Yangfeng believes that the development of AGI and the progress of robot technology are expected to give rise to new game platforms and hardware devices. This can not only activate the market demand for existing hardware but also increase users' attention to specific functions, thereby enhancing user experience and product activity. For small and medium - sized teams, he suggests focusing on the exploration of AI applications in fields such as games, music, and reasoning games at present. The core is to find points of cognitive difference and form a leading advantage, rather than blindly following the paths of large companies. He also predicts that in the next 3 to 5 years, AI technology will greatly enrich the game industry ecosystem and help the industry achieve more prosperous development.

Sun Hui believes that the support of AI will enable small and medium - sized teams to flourish. Those small and medium - sized teams with strong execution ability are expected to gain an advantage in this round of industry transformation. At the same time, he also pointed out that AI applications still face challenges in terms of consistency, security, and response speed. He encourages more teams to participate in the construction of the AI ecosystem and emphasizes that simple and easy - to - use AI technology is the key to future development.

With the announcement of all the awards, the first "Digiloong Global AI Game and Application Innovation Contest" came to a successful conclusion. But as Wang Ji, the chairman of Century Huatong, said: "Although the first 'Digiloong Cup' has come to an end today, our exploration of AI technology is endless." As the initiator of the contest, Century Huatong has not only discovered a number of high - quality works and top - notch talents for the enterprise but also taken the lead in responding to the national policy call for vigorously promoting the large - scale commercial application of artificial intelligence. By building the "Digiloong Cup" into an innovation platform focusing on AI development, Century Huatong has clearly conveyed its firm determination to "go all - in on AI" to the industry and injected strong impetus into the in - depth empowerment of all industries by AI technology and its large - scale implementation.
