Imagine AI solving 3,000-year-old oracle bone riddles 🏺 and stopping credit card scams 💳 in real time. Xiamen just showed 20+ global media outlets how they’re doing both – and much more – during a tech-packed tour revealing their explosive AI growth.
At Xiamen University’s new AI hub, researchers demoed how machine learning cracks ancient Chinese scripts faster than Indiana Jones 🕵️♂️. Meanwhile, security firm SSCIC unveiled 'Tianqing' – China’s first public safety AI model tracking fraud patterns citywide. 'It’s like ChatGPT decided to fight cybercrime,' quipped one journalist.
The numbers speak volumes: ✨ $33.6 billion AI industry size ✨ #10 ranking in China’s AI City Index ✨ 459 companies (including selfie app Meitu’s imaging AI)
But Xiamen’s not stopping here. Their 2027 roadmap? Double the industry to $600B with: ✅ AI-powered medical scanners ✅ Smart car-road-cloud systems ✅ Voice-controlled everything (think Alexa’s ambitious cousin)
Chief engineer Peng Junfeng confirms: 'We’re building an AI ecosystem where startups innovate alongside giants.' With exports already reaching 100+ countries/regions, this coastal tech hub might just be China’s next Silicon Valley 2.0 🌉.
