At the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, the spotlight was on groundbreaking A.I. innovations that are reshaping the tech landscape. One of the highlights was a demo by start-up founder Qu Dongqi, showcasing a mesmerizing video created using A.I. technology.
This video, powered by Kuaishou, a Chinese internet company, brought an old photograph to life. In the video, a woman lifted two toddlers in her arms, and they shared a moment of joy and surprise. This technology, similar to the American Sora video generator by OpenAI, is now accessible to the general public, setting it apart and ahead in the global tech arena.

China is rapidly advancing in the A.I. race, with several Chinese companies unveiling cutting-edge technologies that rival those of leading American systems. These innovations are already making waves globally, empowering consumers, businesses, and software developers alike.
While concerns in the U.S. revolve around the potential negative impacts of A.I., Chinese companies are embracing a more open approach. They are making their technologies widely available and even sharing the underlying software code with others. This open-source model fosters collaboration and innovation, enabling faster development and distribution of products leveraging these transformative technologies.
