Artificial intelligence has become a dominant force in the industry, reshaping how businesses operate and how people interact with technology. As we look ahead to 2018, the question remains: who will drive AI forward, which industries will be transformed, and what cutting-edge technologies will define the competitive edge of AI-driven companies?
In 2017, AI was a hot topic among business leaders and tech experts alike. From Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg, everyone was talking about its potential. Ralph Hapt, president of Microsoft Asia, emphasized that AI would continue to be a mainstream technology in 2018, influencing every aspect of daily life in an almost invisible way. In China, AI is no longer just a futuristic concept—it's actively changing the way people live and work. It has become a powerful branding tool for tech companies and a trending subject for media coverage.

As AI continues to gain momentum, it’s not just about the technology itself—it’s about how it transforms entire industries. Many sectors are undergoing fundamental changes as AI disrupts traditional models, creating new systems and redefining balance within markets. These transformations are already shaping user behavior and will only accelerate in the coming years.
At the WISE·2017 conference, industry and technical experts agreed that AI will continue to empower various sectors in 2018. This shift is opening up new opportunities across different fields. Some believe AI will play a major role in smart home appliances, making voice interaction a standard feature. Others are excited about the potential of AI in the new retail space, while some are exploring its applications in biotechnology and more.
AI seems to have no boundaries when it comes to its potential applications. Chen Weihan, CEO of Graffiti Intelligence, is optimistic about 2018 being a breakthrough year for AI companies. He predicts that AI will become widely adopted in the smart home appliance market, with voice interaction becoming the norm. His company has already served over 10,000 customers across 200 countries by the end of 2017, and he expects this number to grow exponentially in 2018 and 2019.
Products like AI-enabled smart speakers are already demonstrating this trend, and as voice services improve, more household appliances will integrate AI to enhance user experience.
Huang Dinglong, co-founder of Dinglong Technology, focuses on the intersection of AI and new retail. He compares the integration of AI into retail to the evolution of vision in ancient species, suggesting that AI will give the retail industry “eyes†to see and understand better. The AI system can now analyze products like an expert, improving efficiency across the entire supply chain—from shopping guides to production, procurement, and design. This ultimately helps consumers access higher-quality products more easily.
