36Kr has joined hands with WAIC2025 to create the "Kr Talks about the Future Live Stream Room" to thoroughly discuss the future signals of AI.
Currently, artificial intelligence technology has evolved from a "demonstration item" in the laboratory to a "tool" in human society. We are experiencing a transformation from "watching AI" to "empathizing with AI," and issues deeply linked to AI technology are surfacing: How can future AI agents truly understand human needs? What challenges must be overcome for full-scenario AI empowerment? Which AI companies can gain a firm foothold in this transformation?
As the world's top event in the field of artificial intelligence, the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) will be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center from July 26th to 28th. With the theme of "In the Age of Intelligence, We All Share One Planet," this year's conference will gather more than 1,200 leaders from over 30 countries, including 12 international award winners such as Yoshua Bengio, over 80 academicians, and representatives from top laboratories, to jointly discuss cutting-edge technologies, industry trends, and ethical governance in the field of artificial intelligence.
As a keen observer and in-depth participant in the technology industry, 36Kr has been continuously tracking and reporting on the development of artificial intelligence technology and the industry. In 2024, 36Kr joined hands with the WAIC organizing committee for the first time to launch the "AI Partner 36Kr Future Talk Live Room" - a live program that combines insightful dialogues with industry leaders and discussions on cutting-edge technologies, focusing on AI scenarios and applications, and using successful cases as the core topics for discussion. This year, the content matrix of the "36Kr Future Talk Live Room" has been further upgraded: in addition to the original roundtable live discussions, two new sections, "WAIC Live Exhibition Tour" and "36Kr Interview Room," have been added to comprehensively showcase the technological breakthroughs of AI companies, the real paths of industry implementation, and the forward-thinking of global AI leaders through a combination of video interviews and live exhibition tours.
Live Dialogues:
Decoding the "Industry Answers" at WAIC 2025
