From July 17 to 20, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Conference on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence was held in Shanghai. Today, the Tencent AI Application Innovation Forum was held. Lin Songtao, vice president of Tencent, said on the scene: “The real scene will always be the first scene of AI value. With the development of AI to the present day, different fields, different enterprises, and different individuals face a large number of problems every day. It is not a big model that can be completely solved by continuing to upgrade and iterate.” Lin Songtao pointed out, “If AI is to truly create value, it must first understand the vertical needs faced by enterprises and individuals. We also discovered that letting people who understand the vertical field of business pick up AI is far faster than letting people who understand AI learn about business, and can create greater value and ability. This is the true meaning of our desire to truly achieve AI inclusion; it should serve all aspects and every industry.”
