Across the lake, AI "runs" into real life on Yangcheng Lake Peninsula

From July 3rd to July 4th, the first Yangcheng Lake Peninsula Tourism Resort AI Carnival, "Across the Lake, Evolution and Rebirth", was successfully held in Suzhou Industrial Park. This summer, the appeal of Yangcheng Lake has a new footnote. For AI entrepreneurs and OPCs, Yangcheng Lake Peninsula is more than just a scenic resort. It has a 50-kilometer lake shoreline, an 8-square-kilometer ecological inner lake, and high-frequency offline scenes such as Bicester Shopping Village, hotel clusters, tennis centers, wellness communities, and pet-friendly spaces. More importantly, the Yangcheng Lake Peninsula will receive 9.5 million tourists in 2025. This means that this place itself is a traffic field that is real enough, rich enough, and open enough. Are AI products easy to use? Are users willing to stop and experience it? Is the scene party willing to continue cooperation? These questions are difficult to answer with PPT alone. AI applications need to be tested repeatedly in offline communities and business districts before they become more and more mature. The value of Yangcheng Lake Peninsula is also revealed here. Tourists will stop for a new experience, sports enthusiasts are willing to try new training methods, and groups such as parent-child families, pet lovers, health care people, and hotel guests constitute a more diverse aspect of life. For an AI company, such a scenario can truly generate valuable feedback. Looking at the larger industry background, AI is moving from “can it be made” to “can it be used”. Daily scenarios such as cultural travel, sports, health care, and pets provide the perfect entry point for AI applications. The Suzhou Industrial Park behind Yangcheng Lake Peninsula also provides a solid industrial base for the implementation of AI. As an industrial park jointly developed by China and New Zealand, Suzhou Industrial Park has formed industrial clusters such as new generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, nanotechnology applications, artificial intelligence, new energy and green industries. The number of artificial intelligence and digital industry-related enterprises in the park has exceeded 1,900, with an output value exceeding 100 billion yuan. A total of 9 large models have been registered with the State Cyberspace Administration of China for generative artificial intelligence services. The park is also further promoting the innovative demonstration application of "AI+", and has formed a "AI+ manufacturing", "AI+ scientific research", "AI+ government affairs", etc.
