On August 28th, the 19th Frost & Sullivan Global Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit and the 4th New Investment Conference (hereinafter referred to as the '2025 Frost & Sullivan New Investment Conference') AI Evolution - Physical World Intelligent Systems Sub-forum, hosted by the world-leading growth consulting firm Frost & Sullivan (Frost & Sullivan, abbreviated as 'Frost & Sullivan'), was held in Shanghai.
At this forum, Fang Chao, Chief Advisor of HAI Chuanghui AI, Professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Chief Strategic Scientist at Beijing Yizhuang Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and Hubei Optics Valley Laboratory, shared a keynote speech titled "Structural Transformations in Innovation and Entrepreneurship: The Power of AI".

The following are the key points of Fang Chao's speech:
In the era of AI, innovation and entrepreneurship are presenting a new situation
Digital penetration is deep, business model transformation is occurring, globalization and localization are intertwined, and policy and demand are driving both directions. However, traditional methods still have limitations: rigid and lagging planning models, fixed team structures, lack of cross-border capabilities, high financing barriers, 'model replication' rather than 'technological breakthroughs'.
Innovation and entrepreneurship face new challenges: the pace of technological iteration far exceeds expectations, with high investment risks, personalized and fragmented user needs, rapid changes, intensified cross-border competition, blurred industry boundaries, fierce talent competition, and difficulty retaining core talents.
In response to these current situations, Fang Chao proposes countermeasures:
Agile innovation: Emphasizing rapid trial and error, continuous iteration, and adaptation to highly uncertain market environments
2. Data-driven: Optimize operational efficiency through data analysis to achieve precise marketing and personalized recommendations
3. Open collaboration: Working alone is difficult to break through barriers. Integrate external resources and share knowledge technologies.
4. Talent Strategy: Attracting top talents through equity incentives, flexible work systems, and an open corporate culture
The Revolution Brought about by AI Technology
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global landscape at an unprecedented pace, driven by significant breakthroughs in data, algorithms, computing power, and a wide range of application scenarios. These four elements are interdependent and develop synergistically, reshaping the patterns of various industries.
1. The explosion in data volume has reshaped the paradigm of AI training. The world generates trillions of GB of data every day, making it a valuable resource for AI training. China's data production far exceeds that of the United States and Europe, giving China a significant advantage in terms of data resources. China's data breadth and depth are continuously developing, and various internet applications are deepening, promoting a richer variety and structure of data.
2. Algorithm iteration breaks through the boundaries of AI technology. Focusing on application needs such as intelligent manufacturing and smart energy, both domestic and international internet companies and industrial enterprises are committed to developing artificial intelligence technology. They continuously optimize underlying algorithms to enhance the application effectiveness of AI in relevant scenarios.
3. Computing power breakthroughs support AI applications. Foreign chip technologies still have an advantage in high-end manufacturing processes and industrial ecosystems, but driven by policy support, market demand, and independent innovation, China has seen the emergence of a group of enterprises similar to Huawei, showing development potential in some fields.
4. The breakthrough in application scenarios has enabled AI to be applied across various industries, ushering in an intelligent new era.
Fang Chao took the Haichuanghui AI agent as an example and pointed out its unique advantages: multiple industries + comprehensive scenarios + new equipment + large data volume + accurate functions + rapid benefits.
Haichuanghui AI intelligent body takes vertical large models as its intelligent core, an open industrial ecosystem as its value lever, and an 'globalization + specialization' resource network as its growth engine. The essence of platform architecture upgrade innovation is to upgrade entrepreneurial services from 'tool empowerment' to 'ecological symbiosis', where the original ecological accumulation can effectively play its role. By applying 'AI + entrepreneurial big data' technology, a closed-loop self-evolving system of 'entrepreneurs - technology - capital - scenario' is constructed to promote the leapfrog transformation of entrepreneurial services from 'human-intensive' to 'AI-native' paradigms.
