From self-driving cars navigating city streets to inspection robots monitoring high-voltage power grids, embodied intelligence is being translated from laboratory concepts into real-world applications in urban transport and high-risk tasks, sparking a technological revolution that is reshaping the way we live and work.

As this technological reform wave reshapes industries and transforms the future, the question arises: How can society come together to drive progress and innovation? 

To promote global dialogue and build international consensus, the World Internet Conference (WIC) Specialized Committee on AI will host a forum under the theme Embodied AI: Leading a New Paradigm for AI Development on March 3 in Barcelona, Spain, on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress. 

The forum will feature speeches, keynote presentations and panel discussions.

Prominent participants will include Francis Gurry, vice-chair of the WIC and former director-general of the World Intellectual Property Organization; Mohamed Ben Amor, director general of the Arab Information and Communication Technologies Organization; Lara Dewar, chief marketing officer at the GSMA; and Schahram Dustdar, co-chair of the WIC Specialized Committee on AI, a member of Academia Europaea and president of the International Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance. 

Representatives from China Mobile, Qualcomm, ZTE, Intel and Alibaba Cloud will also be there, offering insights on technological roadmap, practical applications, as well as emerging opportunities and challenges in embodied AI.

We cordially invite you to register and join the dialogue to explore the future of embodied AI and its applications.
