According to Fenoli, artificial intelligence is deeply intertwined with the future of the internet, which is already an integral part of human existence.

"China holds the largest potential market, especially in some emerging science and technology sectors," said Wang Xu, a senior marketing manager at the Chinese branch of FPT Software, a global technology and IT services provider based in Vietnam.

As a new participant in the summit, the company aims to introduce itself to a broader audience through this event and to share experiences and insights with experts from various fields, Wang added.
