Healthcare: Guangdong Provincial People's Second Hospital (广东省第二人民医院) launched what has been described as the first "souled" physician digital human in China, unveiled at a digital twin and digital therapeutics ecosystem event held in Guangzhou on February 28. Developed in collaboration with Huawei (华为), the system goes beyond static AI tools by incorporating a named doctor's clinical reasoning and diagnostic thinking, enabling the digital human to learn and evolve over time. The initiative also introduced a set of personalized "three digital prescriptions," representing a broader shift in medical AI from single-function digital instruments toward cognitive systems capable of independent clinical thought.
Education and Training: Nanjing University of the Arts (南京艺术学院) has integrated digital human production into its curriculum, with students demonstrating end-to-end capability from creative concept to realized digital human output, reflecting a pedagogical emphasis on applied AI competency. In a separate healthcare education context, an AI-based virtual human communication simulation system called AI-VHCom has been developed and evaluated for use by nursing students practicing communication with elderly patients, providing a scalable training environment that addresses the shortage of real clinical practice opportunities.
Commerce and Trade: In Yiwu, Zhejiang, the Yiwu International Trade City deployed multilingual digital humans at the Global Digital Trade Center — which recently served as a Spring Festival Gala venue — to facilitate real-time multilingual dialogue with international buyers at the market's new year opening. The deployment supports cross-border e-commerce and live-streaming commerce use cases, signaling the integration of digital human technology into physical wholesale trade infrastructure.
Enterprise and Recruitment: At a large-scale job fair will be held in Guangzhou's Baiyun District on March 4, AI recruitment terminals featuring digital human online service agents will be deployed on-site to assist job seekers with intelligent matching and position screening. Similarly, Qinghai Province's 2026 Spring Employment Campaign in Xining incorporated digital human live-streaming for job posting presentations alongside intelligent policy Q&A services, demonstrating the use of digital humans to expand the reach and efficiency of public employment services.
Government and Civic Affairs: The Ningxia Women's Federation (宁夏妇女联合会) introduced its first digital ambassador, named "Ning Jiejie" (宁姐姐), at the 2026 commemoration of International Women's Day on February 28. The character was purpose-designed for the federation's constituency and made her public debut via a large display screen at the event venue in Yinchuan, wearing symbolic accessories including a red wolfberry pendant and a pomegranate emblem.
Public Safety: Fujian Province deployed what has been described as the first 3D police affairs digital human in the province, named "Rong Xiao'an" (榕小安), developed for online public security service delivery in Fuzhou.
Entertainment and Virtual Idols: Jingdong (京东), operating under its JoyAI large model, partnered with twelve hardware brands — including Lenovo (联想), Red Magic (红魔), ROG, ASUS (华硕), AOC, Gigabyte (技嘉), Colorful (七彩虹), and Galaxy (影驰) — to launch "Shier Ji" (十二姬), described as the industry's first virtual idol group IP. Each of the twelve members corresponds to a brand's representative virtual character, and the group simultaneously released an AI-generated debut single titled "Unlock My Love." The digital human technology underpinning the group was noted for high lip-sync accuracy, strong expressiveness, and robust text-controllability.
Media and Broadcasting: Wanxing Technology (万兴科技) has developed the proprietary "Wanxing Tianmu" (万兴天幕) large model, enabling three-second video generation, intelligent editing, and digital human broadcast anchoring across use cases including image design and overseas market content. Jiechenng Shares (捷成股份) deploys virtual digital human technology through its investee company Shiyou Technology (世优科技), providing services to ByteDance (字节跳动) among other clients, with the capability integrated into its broader AI short-drama and animated-drama production pipeline via the proprietary "LingXi" AI platform and "ChatPV" engine in conjunction with Seedance 2.0.
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's (字节跳动) second-generation AI video generation model, developed by the Jianying (剪映) team under their Jimeng AI (即梦AI) platform. It was released on February 7, 2026. Given a text prompt or an image, it can generate multi-shot cinematic video sequences with native audio in under 60 seconds. It sits at the foundation of ByteDance's AI content ecosystem and has become a significant market event in China's A-share AI video sector, driving stock movements across multiple listed companies. Importantly, Seedance 2.0 is also reported to have faced a copyright infringement lawsuit from Disney and Hollywood studios filed around February 14, 2026, which has accelerated industry pressure toward licensed training data.
The LingXi platform (灵犀) is Jiechenng Shares' (捷成股份, listed as SZ300182) proprietary full-pipeline AI production platform, formally described as the "Jiechenng LingXi Agent Platform" (捷成灵犀智能体平台). It modularizes the entire content production workflow — scriptwriting, storyboarding, character design, voice synthesis, and editing — allowing these steps to be largely automated. The platform is built on top of Jiechenng's proprietary four-tier film and television understanding large model, which gives it domain-specific comprehension of cinematic language, narrative structure, character motivation, and directorial style that general-purpose video models lack. LingXi is also described as having an open interface connected to the ByteDance ecosystem through a joint AI audio-video laboratory, with tens of millions of licensed clip segments made available through it.
ChatPV (now reportedly at version 3.0) is Jiechenng's proprietary AI intelligent creation engine, described as the "AI Intelligent Video Production Engine." It functions as the generation and output layer of the production stack: it supports one-click video production, text-to-video, and — most relevant to virtual being applications — digital human broadcast anchoring. It integrates Huawei's Pangu large model capabilities and is built on multimodal large model technology. In practical terms, ChatPV is what converts the understanding and planning done by the LingXi platform into finished video and character output. Jiechenng has also built a "film-grade AI vector library" that converts unstructured video content into structured parameters — shot composition, lighting, camera movement, style tags — so that when a Seedance user requests a specific cinematic feel, the model can call precise parameters derived from Jiechenng's licensed library.
Industrial and Smart City Applications: Kaipu Cloud (开普云) applies generative machine learning to its metaverse business, including automated text content generation, virtual digital human voice driving, and text-to-image generation. In Shenyang, Liaoning, the first "Digital Intelligence Worker Lei Feng" (数智工人雷锋) figure was unveiled, built using AIGC technology, digital human modeling, and immersive audio-visual design to recreate a multi-perspective digital representation of the historical figure Lei Feng during his years in Liaoning, as part of a thematic exhibition running through June.
