The 21st China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industry Fair (ICIF), now underway in China's southern city of Shenzhen, is spotlighting cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) innovations, with a dedicated exhibition zone offering immersive demonstrations of technologies reshaping industries and daily life. The newly launched AI section features products ranging from multi-form bipedal robots and AI-powered photography glasses to virtual reality (VR) systems. One standout exhibit, a one-stop three dimensional (3D) content creation platform, allows users to input simple commands to generate detailed 3D models. These designs are then processed through an automated workflow and materialized via 3D printers within minutes. "Here at the expo I feel that these advanced technologies have been part of our daily life. I hope that more technological innovations will be applied to our work and life in the future," said Guan, a visitor. The event also highlights functional AI robots performing tasks. Some service robots are guiding the route for visitors, and translator robots are interpreting languages in real time. Certain robots even showcased artistic skills. Demonstrations include piano-playing robots, chess matches against humans, and machines capable of calligraphy and painting. "Robots can be used to extinguish fire in high buildings. I think things like this this can greatly change our life," said Luo, a visitor. A total of 6,280 government delegations, cultural institutions, and enterprises are participating in the event either online or offline, an increase of 265 over the previous session, welcomed by 3,300 exhibitors at the fair. Established in 2004, the China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair has become a leading cultural event in China and an important platform to help Chinese culture go abroad.
