🚀 When Japanese AI scientist Kenmaru Suedomi touched down in China, he didn't expect to be wowed by a city straight out of a sci-fi movie! 😲
As the founder of Waseda AI Lab and a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, Suedomi is no stranger to cutting-edge tech. But his recent visit to the \"city of the future,\" Xiong'an New Area in north China's Hebei Province left him utterly amazed.
Suedomi was in China for the 2024 Future Close-Up program, a high-level youth exchange initiative hosted by the China International Communications Group Center for the Americas, the Hong Kong Federation of Liaoning Associations, and Tencent. During his trip, he sat down with CGTN's Enoch Wong in Beijing to share his eye-opening experiences.
\"The way the Chinese government is propelling the construction of this smart city through public-private partnerships is truly inspiring,\" Suedomi remarked. \"It's not just about flashy technology; it's about creating a people-oriented innovation hub that serves the community.\" 👥❤️
Walking through Xiong'an, Suedomi was struck by the seamless integration of AI, sustainability, and urban planning. From AI-powered traffic systems to eco-friendly infrastructure, the city embodies a harmonious blend of technology and livability.
\"I wish we could see something like this take shape in Japan,\" he mused. \"It's a model of innovation that puts people first, and that's a game-changer.\" 🇯🇵✨
For young professionals, students, and adventurers alike, Xiong'an New Area represents the exciting possibilities that emerge when technology meets visionary planning. Who knows? Maybe your next travel destination should be this futuristic hotspot! 🌏✈️
