China News Service, Beijing, November 11 (Reporter Chen Hang) The 2026 Zhongguancun Forum series of events-Zhongguancun Artificial Intelligence and Future Cities Forum was held in Beijing on the 10th. With the theme of "AI CITY·Digital Intelligence Symbiosis", the forum released 67 typical cases of artificial intelligence panoramic empowerment in Zhongguancun Science City, 4 Zhongke Brain government and enterprise intelligent agents, and 51 "AI CITY·Artificial Intelligence Empowering City Practice" samples, and completed 5 groups of cooperation contracts for the co-construction of urban digital intelligence ecology.
In August 2024, Zhongguancun Science City released the Artificial Intelligence Panoramic Empowerment Action Plan (2024-2026) to comprehensively lay out AI applications. A total of 67 typical cases were selected in 2026, covering nearly 20 fields such as AI4S, embodied intelligence, medicine and health, urban operation, cultural tourism consumption, etc. Artificial intelligence is moving from single-point demonstration to full-field empowerment: 11 projects in the AI4S field involve basic research and development links such as all-solid-state battery materials and quantum error correction; the field of embodied intelligence covers world models, data collection, simulation platforms, companion robots, etc.; the field of urban operation includes specific scenarios such as disaster warning and urban management and control.
At the forum, Zhongke Brain released 4 intelligent products for first-line urban scenarios. Following the release of more than 20 intelligent agent products with information understanding and decision-making capabilities in 2025, this year's product focus has shifted to supporting intelligent agents to carry out on-site task execution and cross-link collaboration.
Among them, the "Digital Enterprise" industrial economic service intelligence is oriented to streets, towns and parks, integrating government affairs, Internet and industrial data to build a dynamic ledger of "registration, operation and tax payment". The "Smart Healing" digital doctor assistant intelligence was jointly developed by Zhongke Brain and clinical experts from Peking University First Hospital. It connects in-hospital diagnosis and treatment with out-of-hospital health management, provides chronic disease screening, comorbidity management suggestions and medication review, and forms an individualized plan after review and confirmation by doctors.
"ZBot" urban embodied intelligence is the first urban embodied intelligent product launched by Zhongke Brain. It takes autonomous inspection as the core entry point and deeply integrates environmental perception, autonomous movement, task execution and information linkage capabilities. The "Lingxi" neighborhood intelligent agent coordinates with six roles: perception, public sentiment, service, assistance, guardianship, and secretarial services to assist in analyzing 12345 work orders, merging repeated demands, prompting conflict risks, and promoting handling of complaints before they are filed; through identification of key groups and matching with policies to benefit the people, it supports "policy finding people and door-to-door services."
At the event site, the People's Government of Wenquan Town, Haidian District, Beijing and the Zhongguancun Science City Data Investment and Operation (Beijing) Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement for Lingxi Street Intelligent Bodies.
The forum released the "AI CITY·Artificial Intelligence Empowered Urban Practice" shortlist. 51 practices were released in three batches, covering areas such as government services, elderly care services, food safety, smart transportation, industrial digitalization and embodied intelligence. Among the selected projects, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice's "Fayi" large model, the Beijing Investigation Corps of the National Bureau of Statistics' CPI Intelligent Questioning Intelligence Assistant, the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center's foodborne disease monitoring voice case intelligence, Zhongke Brain's "Smart Eyes" AI nursing home safety risk protection project, etc., directly serve the masses and urban security.
The forum completed the signing of 5 sets of cooperation agreements, covering data elements, international cooperation, energy industry, industrial ecology, technological innovation and industry implementation. The signatories include more than 20 institutions and companies including Beijing Data Group, Alatau City in Kazakhstan, PetroChina Longhui Technology, China United Petroleum, Beijing Enterprise Confederation, CNNC (Shanghai), and China Science and Technology Brain.
This forum is guided by Zhongguancun Development Group Co., Ltd., hosted by Zhongguancun Science City Data Investment and Operation (Beijing) Group Co., Ltd., Zhongguancun Science City Urban Brain Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhongguancun International Digital Design Center Co., Ltd., and hosted by Beijing Software and Information Services Industry Association.
