CHONGQING, China<\/span><\/span>, Sept. 5, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — A news report from\u00a0iChongqing: The 2025 World Smart Industry Expo opened on September 5<\/span> in Chongqing<\/span>, featuring over 550 companies showcasing more than 3,000 innovations from autonomous driving and AI cockpits to XR film and robotic caf\u00e9s, highlighting how AI is reshaping industry and life.<\/p>\n

Centered on “AI+” and intelligent connected new energy vehicles (NEV), this year’s expo highlights digital city governance, robotics, smart living, and the low-altitude economy, with Singapore<\/span> as the Guest Country of Honor and Sichuan Province<\/span> as the Guest Province of Honor.<\/p>\n

At the opening ceremony, nine keynote speakers outlined how AI is driving social change. Harry Shum Heung-Yeung<\/span>, Chairman of the Council at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology<\/span> and Foreign Member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, emphasized the rise of embodied intelligence, predicting robots that can learn, adapt, and collaborate in real-world settings.<\/p>\n
