Mr. William Chang, Chairman of SingCham Shanghai, emphasized in his opening address:

中国新加坡商会·上海办事处会长曾广仁先生在开幕致辞中表示：

As we stand at the forefront of this technological shift, it is crucial that we embrace AI. Let’s not merely adapt to these tools, but actively harness them as a force for good — leveraging AI to solve complex problems and uplift humanity, in order to build a more inclusive and prosperous future together.

我们正站在技术变革的最前沿，拥抱AI至关重要。我们不仅要适应这些工具，更要主动驾驭它们，将其转化为向善的力量——利用AI解决复杂问题、赋能人类，共同构建一个更加包容、繁荣的未来。

He also previewed upcoming events, including the Inter-Chamber Mixer in June and the AI for Humanity Asia forum in July.

曾会长还预告了商会后续活动，包括6月的跨商会交流活动和7月的“AI for Humanity Asia”论坛。

Keppel Real Estate Division (China)

Mr. Ng Chern Shiong (Executive Vice President, Asset Management, Keppel Real Estate Division China) expressed his appreciation to SingCham for the collaboration opportunity. Recalling his attendance at the very first Tech series, he noted that the discussion then centered on large language models — yet in just a few years, the industry landscape had transformed dramatically. This made Keppel delighted to sponsor the venue when approached by the Chamber. He introduced the “Konnect” as a shared venue designed to foster connections and collaboration among tenants and Chamber members, and welcomed inquiries from businesses seeking new premises, with referral rewards available.

黄辰雄先生在致辞中表示，感谢SingCham提供此次合作机会。他回忆自己曾参加首届Tech系列活动，彼时讨论主题尚为大语言模型，而短短数年间行业格局已发生翻天覆地的变化，因此当商会提出场地赞助请求时，吉宝欣然应允。他介绍，命名为“Konnect”的共享空间旨在为租户与商会会员搭建交流协作的平台，并欢迎有租赁需求的企业洽询，吉宝亦提供推荐奖励。

AI产业的投资逻辑与增长飞轮

The Investment Logic and Growth Flywheel of AI

Ms. Gianna Zhou (Founding Partner, Daochun Capital / Jinshi Capital) presented the investment logic behind the AI industry.

周小楠女士（道淳资本/金时资本创始合伙人）从投资人视角系统阐释了AI产业的增长逻辑。

Commercial Value Formula: AGI Commercial Value = Intelligence Ceiling × Token Consumption Scale
Historic Breakthrough: In February 2026, China’s LLM weekly token consumption surpassed US models for the first time, with Chinese models taking four of the top five spots globally
Flywheel Effect: Model performance, user growth, scenario deepening, token consumption growth, and R&D investment form a self-accelerating positive flywheel
Organizational Transformation: AI is flattening traditional corporate pyramids into “core human + AI agent” structures

商业价值公式：AGI商业价值 = 智能上界 × Token消耗规模
历史性突破：2026年2月，中国大模型周Token调用量首次超越美国模型，全球前五名中中国占据四席
飞轮效应：模型性能提升、用户增长、场景深化、Token消耗增长、研发投入五大要素构成自我加速的正向飞轮
组织变革：AI正推动企业从传统金字塔结构向“核心人物+AI代理”的扁平化模式转型

Ms. Zhou noted that AI had surpassed human experts in the GPQA doctoral-level exam (87 vs. 65) and shared a case where AI agents completed strategic reports in 2 hours — a task that previously took consulting firms two months.

周女士指出，AI已在GPQA博士级专业测评中以87分超越领域博士65分的水平，并分享案例：原本需要咨询公司两个月完成的战略报告，如今AI代理仅需2小时即可完成.

Mr. Enoch Tang (Co-founder, ZC Digitals) delivered a live demonstration of how Agentic AI automated daily business tasks — market research, competitive analysis, report writing, and etc. He emphasized:

Enoch Tang 先生（ZC Digitals 联合创始人）通过现场演示，展示了代理式AI如何自动化日常商业任务——市场调研、竞品分析、报告撰写等。他强调：

“Agents are not chatbots — they are chatbots with hands. They can type on Excel, write work documents, or create PowerPoint slides. They are workers, not just conversational tools.”

“代理不是聊天机器人——它们是有手的聊天机器人。它们可以在Excel上操作、撰写工作文档、制作PPT幻灯片。它们是‘员工’，而不仅仅是对话工具。”

He noted that Agentic AI enabled a single person to run an entire business, fundamentally changing traditional work models.

他指出，代理式AI让单人即可运营整条业务线，彻底改变了传统工作模式。

AI for Humanity — The Blue Ocean Opportunity

人本AI的蓝海机遇

Dr. James Ong (Founder & MD, AIII; Adjunct Professor, SUTD; Champion, SingCham Tech & Innovation) offered a humanistic perspective on AI development:

翁家良博士（AIII人工智能国际研究院创始人与院长、SUTD特聘教授、SingCham科技创新工作组组长）从人文维度出发，提出AI发展的深层思考：

Global Attention: Pope Leo XIV issued the first encyclical on AI in 2,000 years, calling for AI to serve humanity, not concentrated power.
The AI Trap: AI learns from humans — if humans are imperfect, AI may inherit those flaws. Human-centric guidance is essential.
Blue Ocean Opportunity: Beyond the red ocean of parameters, computing power, and traffic, “AI for Humanity” is the only blue ocean with long-term civilizational value.
全球关注：教皇方济各发布两千年来首份AI训导文件，强调AI必须服务人类而非集中权力。
AI陷阱：AI从人类学习，若人类不完美，AI也可能不完美——需建立人本价值引导。
蓝海机遇：在参数、算力、流量的红海竞争之外，“AI for Humanity”是具备长期文明价值的蓝海赛道。

Dr. Ong called for global collaboration to establish “AI for Humanity” as UN SDG 18, with the guiding principle: of humanity, with humanity, and for humanity.

翁博士呼吁全球共同推动 “AI for Humanity” 成为联合国可持续发展目标第18项（UN SDG 18），并提出“由人类、与人类一起、为人类服务”的AI终极准则。

圆桌对话

Panel Discussion: From Technology to Organization — Making AI Work

从技术到组织，AI如何落地

TECH TODAY

Moderated by Mr. Samuel Tan (Vice-Chair, SingCham Shanghai), the panel featured:

圆桌环节由 Samuel Tan 先生（SingCham上海副会长）主持，对话嘉宾包括：

Mr. Michael Zhang (AI GTM Specialist, Google)
Dr. Kelvin Chen (Founder & CEO, AnyJob AI)
Mr. Vladislav Alukhanov (Head of Strategy, InBridge)
张强先生（谷歌 AI 产品市场专家）
陈建宇博士（AnyJob AI 创始人兼CEO）
Vladislav Alukhanov 先生（InBridge 战略负责人）

From the perspectives of go-to-market, vertical application, and brand strategy, the panel engaged in four rounds of in-depth discussion.

围绕“代理式AI革命”这一主题，四位嘉宾从市场推广、垂直应用与品牌战略三个视角展开了四轮深度对话。

Part 1: Defining the Revolution

— What makes Agentic AI a true game-changer?

Part 1: 定义革命

—— Agentic AI为何是真正的游戏规则改变者？

When asked about the single most important difference between Agentic AI and Generative AI, the panelists agreed: Agentic AI doesn’t just generate content — it delivers outcomes. It is not a chatbot, but a “digital worker” capable of autonomous task execution, tool invocation, and end-to-end workflow completion. This shift elevates AI from an efficiency tool to a productivity engine.

当主持人问及“代理式AI与生成式AI最本质的区别”时，嘉宾们一致认为：代理式AI不是“生成内容”，而是“交付结果” 。它不仅是聊天工具，更是能够自主执行任务、调用工具、完成端到端工作流的“数字员工”。这一转变，使AI从效率工具升级为生产力引擎。

Part 2: Practical Applications

— How are AI agents creating real value today?

Part 2: 落地实践

—— 从招聘到营销，AI代理如何创造真实价值？

Dr. Kelvin Chen shared how AI agents were transforming talent discovery: screening thousands of resumes daily, proactively sourcing candidates across platforms, and outperforming human recruiters in speed and scale. Mr. Vladislav Alukhanov illustrated how China’s super-app ecosystem enabled AI agents to deliver personalized customer experiences at scale — allowing smaller brands to afford services previously reserved for large enterprises. Mr. Michael Zhang noted from Google’s perspective that the biggest barrier to enterprise AI adoption was not technology but organizational change — successful companies started with one department and scaled gradually.

陈建宇博士分享了AI代理在人才发现领域的实战应用：AI代理可每日筛选数千份简历，跨平台主动寻访候选人，效率远超人类招聘官。Vladislav Alukhanov 先生则以中国超级App生态为例，展示了AI代理如何实现个性化客户体验的规模化，让中小企业也能负担此前只有大品牌才能提供的精细化服务。张强先生则从谷歌视角指出，企业AI落地的最大障碍并非技术本身，而是组织变革——成功的企业往往从单一部门试点开始，逐步推广至全局。

Part 3: Career Reinvention

— What human values remain irreplaceable?

Part 3: 职业重塑

—— AI时代，人类的核心价值何在？

As AI takes over execution, the panelists converged on three uniquely human assets: creativity, strategic judgment, and ethical accountability. AI can analyze data but cannot bear decision-making consequences; AI can generate content but cannot exercise aesthetic judgment; AI can optimize processes but cannot be responsible for teams, clients, or society. Mr. Zhang advised leaders to treat AI agents as “team members” rather than tools, and to encourage employees to proactively use AI in their daily work.

当AI接管自动化执行，什么才是人类不可替代的价值？嘉宾们的共识聚焦于三点：创造力、战略判断与伦理责任。AI可以做数据分析，但无法承担决策后果；AI可以生成内容，但无法拥有审美判断；AI可以优化流程，但无法承担对团队、客户与社会的责任感。张强先生建议，企业领导者应将AI视为“团队成员”而非“工具”，并鼓励员工在日常工作中主动使用AI，而非被动接受变革。

Part 4: Looking Ahead

— How will we work in 2029?

Part 4: 未来展望

—— 2029年，我们将如何工作？

Looking three years ahead, the panelists offered bold predictions: everyone will have a personal career agent representing them in job hunting and business negotiations; brands will need to market to AI agents, not just human consumers; enterprises will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents, achieving recursive self-optimization of business processes. Dr. Chen predicted that future recruitment competition would shift from “who has a better resume” to “whose AI agent negotiates better.”

展望未来三年，嘉宾们给出了大胆预测：每个人都将拥有自己的职业代理AI，在求职、招聘、商务洽谈中代表个人与企业直接沟通；品牌需要重新思考如何“营销给AI代理”而非仅营销给人类消费者；企业将管理“人+AI代理”的混合团队，实现业务流程的递归式自我优化。陈建宇博士预测，未来招聘的竞争将从“谁拥有更好的简历”转向“谁的AI代理更会谈判”。

Closing advice from the panel: Start today — hire an AI agent for your work. Begin with small tasks and scale from there.

圆桌环节闭幕寄语：从今天开始，为你的工作“雇佣”一个AI代理，从小任务起步，逐步扩展。
