AI agents face trust hurdles in high-risk industrial sectors
At the IDC CIO Summit in Shenzhen, experts warned that AI agents face trust issues in high-risk industrial sectors like healthcare and aerospace. Liu Xiangyang of Midea Group predicted upper-layer software will be entirely replaced by agents. Du Yanze of IDC stated that 90% of an AI agent's value will come from industrial expertise, shifting the value chain from software building to industry knowledge. AI agents can compress supply chain order delivery from two hours to minutes. China's 'AI Plus' strategy mandates over 70% AI adoption by 2027 and over 90% by 2030, despite current lag in industrial software and dependence on foreign technology for semiconductor design.
