On July 17, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) opened in Shanghai. As an important content window for 36 Krypton to go deep into the WAIC scene for the third consecutive year, the "Krypton Future" live broadcast room also opened live dialogue simultaneously on the first day of the conference. Sun Lei, vice president of Ant Digital and general manager of the business development department in China, accepted an exclusive interview with 36 Krypton’s “Krypton Talk about the Future” at the WAIC site. Focusing on topics such as commercial intelligence super factories, industry vertical large-scale models, AI engineering capabilities, and enterprise intelligence implementation, he shared Ant Digital’s latest practices and thoughts on enterprise intelligence upgrades. The theme of this year's WAIC is "Intelligent Partners, Creating the Future Together". As the artificial intelligence industry enters the application deepening stage, the industry's focus is gradually shifting from model capability competition to application value creation. Compared with the discussions around parameter scale, model performance and technological breakthroughs in the past few years, the AI industry in 2026 is paying more attention to a core issue: how AI can truly enter enterprise business processes, how to lower the application threshold, and how to create value through actual business results. Under this trend, business intelligence is becoming an important carrier that connects model capabilities and enterprise applications. For enterprises, only having general large models can no longer meet complex business needs. They also need intelligent agent systems with industry knowledge, business understanding, and engineering capabilities to help AI truly implement business scenarios and achieve from personal efficiency improvements to organizational collaborative upgrades. The "Business Intelligence Super Factory" released by Ant Digital this time is focused on exploring this direction. As an application platform hosting the "Business Intelligence Super Factory", Agentar2.0 is the first batch of pre-configured nearly 200 position-level digital expert templates, and provides hundreds of subscription-based Skills-level agent tools available out of the box. Enterprises can quickly activate digital experts with professional knowledge, business processes and tool calling capabilities based on specific positions and business needs, without starting from scratch. For enterprise-level AI, what truly determines the implementation effect is not only the model capability itself, but also the continuous construction of industry understanding, engineering capabilities and value delivery systems.
