Malaysia has brought a "team of technology companies" covering digital health, cross-border e-commerce and other tracks. When Huang Haibo (Chinese name), an exhibitor in the country's AIGC (generative artificial intelligence) field, visited the exhibition hall, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Chinese companies had integrated AI into film, television and education. "I want to take these experiences back and encourage young people in Malaysia to also use the power of AI to tell local stories."
Peru "moved" its natural scenery into the national pavilion. Wearing AR glasses, the vast Andes Mountains and lush Amazon rainforest seem to be within reach. As a representative company in the field of eco-tourism in Peru, Gabriel Meses, project director of Inga Original Land, revealed that this year it will also work with Chinese smart glasses companies to explore a new experience of "AI + cultural tourism".
