[Explanation] From September 1st to 3rd, the 2022 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will be held in Shanghai, which is the fifth year of the conference.
Since 2018, the scale of Shanghai's artificial intelligence industry has doubled, and the construction of world-class industrial clusters has taken solid steps.
Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island, a hot spot for artificial intelligence development in Shanghai, was still a construction site when the first World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in 2018.
In 2022, Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island plans to expand the second phase; around the newly completed Science Hall in Zhangjiang, hundreds of artificial intelligence enterprises gather.
Yuan Tao, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Zhangjiang Group, said that from the initial active participation of Zhangjiang's enterprises in the artificial intelligence conference to the current sub-venue of the conference in Zhangjiang, people's desire for new technologies can be strongly felt.
In the future, Zhangjiang will build a digital city of 4.1 square kilometers.

Coming here in the future may be a very wonderful scene. Although it is only a digital city of 4 square kilometers, it links the whole world.
There are our business, entertainment, production and life, as well as autonomous driving like we talked about, including Metaverse's cultural creation, cultural tourism and other projects. Through the combination of virtual and real, we will provide you with more different experience.
[Explanation] A group of companies have developed in Shanghai through the platform of the Artificial Intelligence Conference.
For example, when SenseTime participated in the conference for the first time five years ago, the scale was still small, and there was no particularly large landing in Shanghai.
Through the first World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the company landed in Shanghai, developed rapidly, and was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the end of last year.
In addition to the "old companies" who have participated in the conference for many years, there are also many "newcomers" actively participating in the 2022 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
Landmark Mark, who participated for the first time, brought 7 main applications of their 33 landing applications at this exhibition, including digital model interaction, electronic doll machine, electronic wardrobe, etc.
The founder Zhao Binran is full of confidence in the development of artificial intelligence in the field of entertainment.

In the future, artificial intelligence will definitely have the advantage of relatively large content production in the media industry or the cultural industry.
First of all, it can generate content in different ways, and use algorithms to generate it.
Secondly, when the algorithm recognizes and interacts with the human body, it can then understand human body language expressions and natural language, and then can better interact with the machine.
[Explanation] In the past five years, the "seed" of artificial intelligence has sprung, grown and thrived in Shanghai, and it has also brought new changes to the city's economic industry and social outlook.
At present, Shanghai's artificial intelligence industry has maintained a growth trend as a whole.
In 2021, the output value of 311 above-scale enterprises will be 305.68 billion yuan, and a total of 105 artificial intelligence projects in the city will be signed, with a total investment of 80.5 billion yuan.
