Xiao- AI Assistant of SCO Summit

Speaking to ANI, Xiao He said, I am Xiao He, a special AI assistant created for this year's SCO summit. My job is to help in different languages and give correct information to everyone. This robot has such technology that it can understand people's gestures and respond accordingly.

You will get a glimpse of Chinese culture

Along with technology, this conference will also showcase Chinese traditions. There will be live demonstrations of Tianjin Yangliuqing woodblock prints and other traditional arts. A special "Cultural Heritage Zone" has been created for this.
