Editor's note: The artificial intelligence industry is a vital driving force for Shanghai's promotion of digital transformation and development into a comprehensive international digital mecca.

With the advantages of a cluster of world-class enterprises, innovative policies and systems as well as open application scenarios, the Lin-gang Special Area – located in East China's Shanghai – has gathered a number of AI enterprises including autonomous driving, intelligent terminals, AI chips and data services.

Well-known entrepreneurs and experts were invited to share their insights and advice about the AI industry to coincide with the start of operations of the Dishui Lake AI Innovation Hub, which is expected to accelerate the development of the AI industry in the Lin-gang Special Area.

No matter the geographical location or the future layout, the Lin-gang Special Area is the closest place to connect to the world in Shanghai. The advantages of Lin-gang have attracted a large number of entrepreneurs with international visions.

With the development of the digital economy, the data center – as the underlying infrastructure – is constantly changing and upgrading, and has become the base of computing power for the development of AI, 5G, autonomous driving, the industrial internet and other fields.

We're committed to independently developing Central Processing Units and providing the industry with more efficient and more easily deployed server processors based on ARM architecture.

In the past three years, Lin-gang has developed rapidly and formed a high-quality industrial cluster, which is essential for our continuous development. 

Lin-gang has provided an excellent business environment for AI enterprises, which has fortified our determination to settle here. We are committed to becoming a global enterprise and looking forward to realizing our dream.

I believe we can find more partners here and create a more prosperous AI industry.
