Sports, Events, And Immersive Participation: Hubei Daily (hubeidaily.net) described event-side deployments where “AI digital humans” and adjacent technologies were used to enhance spectatorship, and explicitly listed Guangdong Mobile (广东移动) integrating 5G-A, AI digital humans, and cloud rendering to enable a high-concurrency 3D virtual space, with two distinct virtual-being functions called out: real-time digital-human explanation/commentary and audience generation of personal “digital avatars” (数字分身) that can interact with athlete virtual images, while the same report also referenced high-precision technical diagnostics for athletes as part of the broader “tech-in-sport” framing; independently, C114 (C114通信网) described a Shenzhen Bay Sports Center implementation framed as a “super sports complex” that deeply fuses AI large models, digital humans, HarmonyOS (鸿蒙), 5G-A, and XR, and described the outcome in terms of three operational layers—event command, venue operations, and interactive-experience innovation—where digital humans are treated as part of an integrated, multi-system application stack rather than a standalone kiosk-style character.
Research, Evaluation, And Misuse Detection: Machine Heart (机器之心) reported that the Tencent Hunyuan Digital Human Team (腾讯混元数字人团队), together with Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学), released the “Moral RolePlay” benchmark to evaluate large-model role-playing under moral dilemmas (including villain roles), placing “digital human” work in the adjacent lane of evaluation infrastructure for role-conditioned behavior rather than only front-end rendering; Hualong Net (华龙网) described a practical detection framing for generative-content misuse in which AI digital humans are said to show highly symmetric faces and unusually consistent body-motion patterns compared with natural physiological variation, explicitly tying the discussion to livestream-style digital humans as a category where authenticity judgments are operationally relevant.
Capital Markets And Industrialization Of Virtual Humans: Sina (新浪) described an IPO-scale narrative around Silicon Intelligence (硅基智能), including the headline claim of “80,000 virtual humans” and positioning around a “virtual digital human + AIGC” full-scenario application direction, while naming founder Sima Huapeng (司马华鹏) and linking his background to Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (南京航空航天大学), framing the company’s development as a commercialization path where virtual beings are productized at scale and marketed as an industry category rather than single-character projects; a related investment-oriented item in the same digest appeared under ChinaScope-style “metaverse” aggregation (投中网) and echoed the same category framing that the metaverse concept surge pushed “virtual human” development into a spotlight period, but the concrete anchor across these reports is the industrial claim of large-scale virtual-human supply and the coupling of digital-human production with generative-content workflows.
November 23, 2025
Enterprise And Finance: Silicon Intelligence (南京硅基智能科技集团股份有限公司) is described as pushing “virtual digital human + AIGC” as a full-scenario application approach and, in its Hong Kong listing filing, positioning itself as having commercialized digital-human deployments across more than 40 industries including finance, government services, and e-commerce, with the headline claim of having built and operated “80,000 virtual humans” as part of its scale narrative for an IPO; within financial-infrastructure adoption narratives, Broad Data (博大数据) is reported as supporting Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (富邦银行（香港）有限公司) with “digital-intelligence finance” infrastructure where digital-human customer service is one of the cited application types alongside automated anti–fraud/black-industry countermeasures, framing digital humans as a front-end service layer that raises concurrent demands on compute capacity and quality.
Marketing And Live Commerce: Baidu (百度) appears in two distinct commercialization frames, first through its “Huiboxing” digital-human live-streaming capability being credited with materially lifting rural village live-commerce outcomes (a “digital human joined the livestream” and drove rapid order and sales growth in a short period), and second via reporting that positions “agents and digital humans” as AI-native monetization products contributing to revenue growth in Baidu’s mobile ecosystem while also popularizing AI “clones” of major livestream personalities such as an AI double of Luo Yonghao used for Asia-Pacific livestream e-commerce; Bangyan Technology (邦彦技术) is described as launching NuwaAI (NuwaAI), a consumer-priced “digital avatar/digital double” product marketed as enabling ordinary users to commission a personal AI stand-in that can run extended livestream sessions, emphasizing the productization of “digital doubles” for sustained selling time; Keyiyun (客易云) is presented through a packaged “digital human livestream system” aimed at fast-moving consumer goods marketing, positioned as solving practical livestream operational constraints through a standardized system rather than one-off production; Qingfei Digital Human (青否数字人) is invoked as a branding/attribution label in an “agent + digital human” marketing-performance narrative that links measurable growth claims to the restructuring of business workflows around intelligent agents paired with digital human presentation.
Entertainment And Gaming: miHoYo (米哈游) is described as revealing early real-gameplay footage for a new title led by a producer associated with Genshin Impact, with coverage interpreting the project as a practical step in miHoYo’s “virtual human” strategy and a signal toward the virtual-idol track, highlighting a character style that blends anime conventions with realism to improve facial expression and emotional performance as a core differentiator for synthetic characters; on the independent-game side, Lilyen Studio (莉莉恩工作室) is named in event lineups via the title “Who Is The ‘Naka-no-hito’” (《誰是中之人》), which is explicitly tied to the “中之人” concept that structures VTuber-style performance around an avatar and a behind-the-scenes performer, reinforcing avatars as both a creative and production framework in game-related cultural programming.
Culture, Tourism, Education, And Public Service: Yike Illusion Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (天津壹刻幻象科技有限公司) is reported as demonstrating high-fidelity holographic digital humans capable of stage-performance detail (costume textures and fine-grained motion) viewable in 360 degrees, positioning holographic digital humans as a cultural-display medium; Shandong Digital Culture Group (山东数文集团) is referenced as having “digital human platform” products and being recognized in a “metaverse supplier” framing, situating digital-human platforms as a packaged capability within cultural-digital industry supply chains; Qinghai Guotou Tourism Resources Development Co., Ltd. (青海国投旅游资源开发有限公司) is described as co-developing an Antarctic-themed immersive large-space VR experience where visitors wear VR equipment and are guided by a virtual digital human as they take on an explorer role, using a synthetic guide character to structure navigation and narrative; in education scenarios, Hezhou No. 5 Experimental Middle School of Babu District (贺州市八步区第五实验中学) is described as using AI-generated “digital humans” for time-space dialogue in classroom instruction, while in broader civic-service messaging the Digital China Construction Summit (数字中国建设峰会) forum commentary is used to generalize that digital humans are in deep application particularly in customer-service contexts and are being discussed alongside industry large-model construction, implying that digital-human interfaces are being treated as a mainstream front end for domain-model deployments.
Ethical And Governance Contexts: Hualongnet (华龙网) is cited for practical detection cues used to distinguish AI-generated digital humans from real people, emphasizing observable artifacts such as unusually high facial symmetry and overly consistent body-motion coherence as heuristic indicators in misuse contexts; the misuse of AI “clones” in livestreaming is further reinforced through reporting that highlights impersonation, rapid blocking behavior, and the operational scale of fraudulent accounts in commerce-adjacent environments, connecting synthetic-character capability to consumer deception risk and the need for verification practices.
November 22, 2025
Government And Public Services: Several reports described digital humans being deployed as front-line public-facing service interfaces and public communication tools. Shanghai Telecom (上海电信) was reported to have integrated a “Yunbao” digital human into upgraded public phone booths that retained calling while adding a touchscreen, camera, voice interaction, and emergency call functions, positioning the digital human as an on-site interaction layer for public services; separately, a report about Shenyang described an “AI digital human” for Liaoning medical insurance that answers public questions rapidly as part of an awareness and campus outreach campaign, framing the digital human as a standardized Q&A and guidance channel for benefits and enrollment; another report from Beijing described a Great Wall-themed “digital guide” modeled on the Ming general Qi Jiguang, emphasizing conversational interaction with visitors and using the virtual character format to deliver interpretive narration and on-site guidance; in Shanghai, a cultural-industry expo report said an AI digital human was designed for the Huangpu public security bureau to support anti-fraud publicity materials, presenting the digital human as a police communication asset for deterrence, education, and campaign distribution; and an event-technology report from Guangzhou described AI digital human volunteers embedded in an official mini-program, presented as an on-demand concierge for venue questions and schedule lookups, indicating a shift toward virtual volunteer staffing for large-scale public events.
Enterprise And Commerce: Multiple reports framed digital humans as commercialization infrastructure for customer acquisition, marketing operations, and cost reduction in brand-facing workflows. JD Cloud (京东云) was reported to run large numbers of agents and to have a “JoyStreamer” digital human built on its JoyAI model serving tens of thousands of brands, with the stated trajectory from “stand-in execution” in livestream rooms toward broader, more personalized creation and multi-scenario deployment beyond livestreaming; Silicon Intelligence (硅基智能) was reported as pursuing capital markets positioning itself as a major “digital human intelligent agent” provider, with revenue concentration among core clients highlighted as a key element of its business profile; a cross-border e-commerce expo report from Fuzhou described “digital human livestreaming” presented alongside an AI cross-border product selection system, treating the digital human as a scalable host for product presentation in international commerce contexts; and an AI-metaverse business collaboration report described iFlytek (科大讯飞) partnering with White Horse Planet (白马星球), attributing strengths to metaverse scenario development, digital human modeling, and immersive interaction design, while also linking these capabilities to smart retail systems and brand-facing deployments.
Education And Skills Training: Reports connected digital humans to tutoring, classroom simulation, and workforce preparation through virtual peer presence and structured interactions. A discussion of AI-enabled education argued that “one-to-one AI” would become a mainstream educational form and explicitly proposed “digital human learning companions” at different levels to form virtual small groups, aiming to maintain personalization while adding companionship and group interaction effects; a campus employment and career event in Zhejiang described students engaging in simulated interviews and career-related interactions that included “digital humans” as part of an AI empowerment center, positioning the digital human as a standardized interview counterpart and guidance interface for employability practice; and a university–enterprise engagement report described Beijing Jinguang Culture Media Co., Ltd. (北京锦冠文化传媒有限公司) demonstrating real-time voice-interactive digital humans, including named examples “Chen Ziang” and “Lei Feng,” alongside a virtual studio offering, indicating a production-oriented pathway where digital humans function as interactive hosts or presenters in training and applied media workflows.
Culture, Heritage, And Publishing: Several reports treated digital humans as a method for historical personification, cultural interpretation, and interactive reading experiences. In Hunan, an “AI edition” cultural library product launch described immersive ancient-book reading and cross-temporal dialogue experiences that explicitly included digital humans of Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, using recognizable historical figures as interactive interfaces to access curated content and engage audiences through character-based conversation; in Zhejiang, a regional cultural-industry report described Zhejiang Wuma Aon Technology Co., Ltd. (浙江伍马奥恩科技有限公司) presenting AI holographic digital humans alongside AR tour guide functions and AI travel photography, with the described visitor experience emphasizing role transformation into traditional opera characters and movement through historical “paintings,” tying digital humans to embodied cultural browsing and guided interpretation in experiential exhibition formats.
Media, Events, And Synthetic Presentation: Several reports treated digital humans as broadcast-grade or event-grade presenters, including high-fidelity “stand-in” performances designed to be indistinguishable from real speakers. Baidu (百度) was repeatedly reported as having an AI digital human or AI “clone” of Robin Li (Li Yanhong) deliver an approximately 20-minute English earnings-related presentation with natural pacing and delivery that reportedly went unnoticed by analysts in the room, framing the use case as corporate communications where the synthetic presenter can substitute for an executive while preserving voice, cadence, and delivery characteristics; a separate report about a major language-and-media campaign described “virtual human broadcasting” integrated with short-video co-creation and multi-platform topic linking as part of a long-running annual media activation, positioning the virtual human as a distribution-friendly presenter format for participatory news-and-culture programming; and an industry anniversary event report said a panel included thirteen participants with one being a digital human, characterizing the digital human as a legitimate “attendee” or presenter role within a formal media and technology partner setting.
Ethical And Legal Contexts: One report focused on disputes involving virtual identities and treated “virtual person to virtual person” interaction as legally actionable when real-world targeting and reputational harm are present. The described practice point was that communications between online virtual identities can still constitute defamation if the exchange has clear real-world referents, violates social norms, and causes reputational damage, using the “virtual human” framing as a reminder that anonymity or virtual naming does not necessarily prevent legal responsibility when speech acts map back to identifiable individuals in practice.
November 21, 2025
Standards And Governance: SenseTime (商汤科技) led the drafting and release of China’s first national standard in the virtual digital human domain, titled “Information Technology—General Technical Requirements for Customer-Service Virtual Digital Humans,” which was developed over roughly two years with participation from more than thirty organizations and is intended to unify technical specifications across system design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance for customer-service virtual digital human systems; the reports also link this standards work to third-party “trusted virtual human” evaluation activity associated with the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (中国信通院), positioning customer-service virtual digital humans as a formally specified product category with defined form factors, functional boundaries, and performance indicators, rather than ad hoc marketing demos or one-off implementations.
Enterprise And Industrial Applications: SuperMap (超图软件) is reported as winning a sizable bid in Qingyang for a “geological digital prospecting” effort tied to “natural resources large-model” construction, and although the headline focus is on resource-model building, the surrounding reporting frames “digital human technology” as one of the AI capabilities being validated in real deployments alongside other agentic and automation technologies; in Tianjin-oriented coverage of “smart park” and networking forums, “digital human” usage is described as moving from simple content presentation toward workflow execution, with examples that include factory-visit/plant-tour scenarios where a digital human can provide guided explanations and structured walkthroughs as part of operational or customer-facing processes rather than purely promotional video output.

November 19, 2025
Entertainment: The “Golden V Awards” (金V獎) announcement included virtual hosting and staged performance details, naming the host Haiyue Bobo (海月波波) and noting a planned performance that adapts “Who Picked Up My Scissors” (我的剪刀被誰撿到) with Kevin Blu (凱文布魯), alongside a separate release noting an AI virtual-idol program hosted by Gong Qiyuan (宮祈緣) titled “Jieyuan Jin” (結緣金) scheduled to premiere on 11/1, positioning these virtual hosts and synthetic idol presenters as event-facing performers and recurring program talent rather than background graphics or one-off promotional assets.
Enterprise And Standards: SenseTime (商汤科技) was repeatedly cited as the lead drafting unit for China’s first national standard in the virtual digital human domain, “Information Technology—General Technical Requirements for Customer-Service Virtual Digital Humans” (《信息技术客服型虚拟数字人通用技术要求》, GB/T 46483-2025), with reporting emphasizing that the standard formalizes a service-oriented, Q&A-style digital human product category by defining product form, functional boundaries, and performance indicators, and by specifying requirements spanning avatar/image generation and driving, visual interaction, voice interaction, affective interaction, and operational maintenance, while also framing the standard’s role as an industry-wide normalization step for customer-service digital humans deployed across sectors such as finance, culture-and-tourism, education, and telecommunications.
Marketing And Commerce: Baidu (百度) was described as opening access to a “Luo Yonghao-style” digital human capability for e-commerce, framed as a move toward scaled deployment of live-selling and commercial-presenter digital humans rather than isolated pilots, while Silicon Intelligence (硅基智能) appeared in business-coverage framing that positioned it as a large-scale provider of digital-human agents, with references to extensive inventories of digital humans and IPO-related scrutiny that treats digital humans as a productized capability underpinning revenue concentration and commercialization risk.
Public Services And Governance: Neusoft (东软) was referenced in reports about “smart human resources and social security” (智慧人社) modernization, describing systems that support the transition from earlier informatization phases to a “digital human resources and social security” stage, including work with a Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security–Nanning smart-HRSS innovation lab to build or adapt solutions on Neusoft’s “Rongzhi” framework (“融智”框架), while separate provincial reporting described a “Liaoning digital people’s congress platform” (辽宁数字人大平台) aggregating representative information at scale as a governance data infrastructure context in which digital-human-style interfaces and platforms are treated as part of public-sector service experience and operational digitization.
Education: Xiangxin Technology (相芯科技) was characterized as having a full-stack, self-developed digital-human technology system supporting multiple product lines described as cartoon digital humans, video digital humans, ultra-realistic digital humans, simulation digital humans, and “fully real” digital humans, with use cases explicitly including virtual assistants, digital anchors, and “cloud tellers,” and with adjacent ecosystem mentions tying its capabilities to “metaverse builder” type roles and youth-facing talent initiatives; separately, an education-event case in Hangzhou described an awards/commendation ceremony introducing a named student-oriented digital human (“Tianyi Youth Digital Human No. 1,” 天翊少年数字人1号) via VCR biographical content and stage presentation, using a digital human as a ceremonial narrator and identity carrier within a school setting rather than as a generic announcer.
Cultural Heritage And Museums: A Gansu new-media technology exhibition vignette described an interactive exhibit pattern where a digital human appears on a touch interface and guides visitors through cultural interpretation by rotating a displayed artifact model (a pig-shaped bronze zun, 豕形铜尊) while narrating explanatory content, presenting the digital human as a museum-style interpretive agent integrated with 3D object viewing and hands-on navigation rather than as a static kiosk persona.
Legal And Ethical Contexts: A Shandong court-related report described disputes arising from AI digital-human livestream anchors being repeatedly banned, leading to a contract-performance and damages claim scenario that treated digital-human livestream operations as a compliance-sensitive service with enforceable obligations and platform-risk exposure; in parallel, coverage from Taiwan’s CNA described “AI doubles” (AI分身) used to simulate interaction with deceased persons in a manner explicitly compared to “Black Mirror”-style premises and presented as a moral-controversy trigger, while separate reporting about deepfake-style “AI doubles” targeting celebrities framed synthetic likeness and performance replication as a rapidly scaling risk vector, with the common thread across these items being that synthetic characters and avatarized doubles create legal exposure (account bans, contractual breach, liability allocation) and ethical tension (consent, grief exploitation, identity misuse) even when the underlying systems are marketed as companionship or convenience.
November 18, 2025
Healthcare: Coverage referenced an infant-care skills competition in Nanning that introduced an “infant digital human” (婴幼儿数字人) as part of the event’s upgraded format, positioning a virtual being as a training and assessment aid for childcare practice in a cross-border contest setting involving teams from China, Thailand, and Malaysia, with the digital-human element framed as a new instructional and evaluation capability rather than a standalone product.
Entertainment: Reporting on live events and cultural IP described virtual-beings being launched or used as digital embodiments of historical figures, including a “Li Bai digital human” (李白数字人) unveiled at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Anlu Li Bai Cultural Tourism Festival as a “global first release” for the event, and a “Qian Xuesen digital human” (钱学森数字人) referenced in the context of public-science and city programming in Hohhot; separate media-industry coverage in Beijing described an “AI+film” forum tied to the Nanzhongzhou Metaverse Industry Service Platform (南中轴元宇宙产业服务平台) integrating a digital-human bionic construction system and XR virtual production to address industry pain points such as digital humans not appearing “alive” and content pipelines being insufficiently “rich,” with the intended use oriented toward AI-enabled film and virtual production workflows.
Marketing: Multiple items framed digital humans as operational tools for commerce and promotion, including Baidu (百度) positioning its Huiboxing digital-human livestream technology (慧播星数字人技术) as globally open and highlighting “Digital Human Luo Yonghao” (数字人罗永浩) as a concrete example used in livestream selling, with performance claims attached to shopping-festival periods; KeyiYun (客易云) was cited as providing a “digital human livestream system” (数字人直播系统) marketed to the cultural tourism sector as a traffic-acquisition mechanism; and a Yiwu trade-feature described in-development capabilities expected to come online by year-end, explicitly naming “digital human livestreaming” (数字人直播) and “AI intelligent shopping guides” (AI智能导购) as new functions for reconfiguring trade workflows beyond in-person customer acquisition.
Gaming: One item highlighted AI-driven “digital characters” (数字人物) in the wuxia MMORPG “Yanyun” (《燕云》), emphasizing player attempts to “break” or provoke AI NPC behaviors as the attention focal point, treating synthetic characters as interactive systems whose emergent dialogue and social manipulation became a visible case of users stress-testing agent-like NPC design in a large-scale online game context.

Cultural: Multiple reports frame “数字人” as a cultural-heritage interface and city soft-power asset, with the World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit repeatedly cited as a venue where digital technology is used to make heritage “alive” through guided, story-driven experiences; a concrete example is the digital human “纪晓岚,” used as a guided narrator to walk visitors through a historical scenario involving the wartime relocation of ancient books, positioning the digital human as an interpretive layer that combines narration, scene reconstruction, and visitor guidance in a museum/library-style setting, and another Wuzhen-facing showcase describes an AI-themed exhibition where a full-chain digital human production-to-deployment platform is presented as “AvatarX,” emphasizing end-to-end workflow from creation through application delivery; separately, Xi’an is described as leveraging intangible cultural heritage and major international events to seed “new business forms” that explicitly include AI digital humans and an XR film industry, situating digital humans as part of a broader cultural-industry upgrade and international communication toolkit rather than a standalone novelty.
Sports: The 15th National Games is described as deploying a “digital human volunteer” system that provides a 7×24 intelligent service network for athletes, volunteers, and the public, and is paired with a “metaverse cloud Games village” concept that uses AI and digital human technologies to deliver immersive, virtualized event experiences and service access; this positions digital humans as a public-facing concierge layer for large-scale events (continuous Q&A, guidance, and service routing) while the metaverse environment functions as a parallel venue for showcasing event highlights and participation pathways, indicating an operational use case focused on high-throughput, always-on service delivery at mega-events rather than purely promotional content.
Marketing: Several items treat digital humans as a cost-reduction and scale strategy for livestream commerce and brand operations, describing a shift from early hype toward standardized, controllable deployment patterns such as “human livestream + store livestream,” store livestream assisting the human host, “human livestream + digital human rotation,” and digital humans assisting the human host; concrete case references include JD.com (京东) using a digital double of Liu Qiangdong for livestream selling, Baidu (百度) using its “Huibo Xing” digital human capability as a full-scenario platform positioned as benefiting large numbers of rural users and income outcomes, and a collaboration framing in which a digital avatar associated with Luo Yonghao is discussed as a high-visibility exemplar of the category’s evolution beyond superficial resemblance toward more capable, production-ready systems; a separate branding/operations angle references Huawei Cloud (华为云) in the context of an “IP operations” approach that links digital-human IP with legacy brands, implying a workflow where a digital character is treated as a managed brand asset used for marketing continuity, content multiplication, and standardized cross-channel deployment.
Enterprise: Digital humans are also described as service automation components in institutional and enterprise contexts, including China Construction Bank (中国建设银行) being noted for an authorized invention patent relating to digital-human interaction methods and associated processing components, aligning digital humans with formalized, proprietary interaction pipelines for customer-service or counter-style workflows; forum and city-branding coverage around Wuxi emphasizes “AI digital human forums” and “city image international communication” themes as part of an “intelligent communication” agenda, indicating use of digital humans as standardized spokes-interfaces for multilingual or cross-audience communication, and platform strategy commentary from Soul App (Soul) frames virtual humans and an AI Agent ecosystem as a “social” interaction option for users who struggle with self-expression, explicitly anchoring the deployment in user safety, content safety, privacy, and ethics constraints while treating synthetic characters as a scenario-expanding interface layer for social products.
Healthcare: Health-oriented coverage centers on Ant Group (蚂蚁集团) describing a health AI application “AQ,” and on associated “AI doctor avatar” capacity described as “famous-doctor AI doubles,” paired with functions such as health education, care-seeking consultation, report interpretation, and health-record services, and linked to connectivity claims spanning thousands of hospitals and large numbers of clinicians; another report about import-expo forum activity describes a “digital human matrix” approach used for precise recommendation and efficient service, with an explicit plan to extend AI digital-human usage to doctor- and pharmacist-facing endpoints so that digital humans act as connectors across the service chain, indicating a design where synthetic agents unify consumer-facing guidance with professional workflow touchpoints and continuity of care or counseling.
Education: In Xinjiang-focused reporting, a concrete classroom-facing example is a digital human tool referred to as “核宝,” described as a “smart tool” that deeply serves classroom teaching, and is paired with extracurricular clubs and project-based learning; the framing treats the digital human as an instructional support interface embedded in everyday teaching practice rather than a one-off demonstration, with the core function being guidance and support inside learning activities.
