At the recent 2024 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit, Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of the global leading technology company Tencent, announced a strategic partnership with the S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship Club, a club dedicated to connecting business needs with leading AI solutions and fostering international collaborations that enhance value for all stakeholders.
Through this collaboration, Tencent Cloud aims to expand Tencent Cloud AI Digital Human in Southeast Asia—strengthening the capabilities of both organizations and empowering enterprises to leverage leading AI technologies to build smart businesses. Together with the club, which believes in the vast potential the Digital Human solution has across various industries, they will promote it to enterprises in the Southeast Asia markets, targeting food and beverage, retail, education, and tourism sectors for a start.
What is the Tencent Cloud AI Digital Human? It is a new-generation, multi-modal human-computer interaction system that can quickly create intelligent, visual, and interactive digital avatars. It facilitates enterprises’ intelligent service upgrades while supporting digital transformation and improving communication efficiency. By leveraging multiple AI technologies such as voice interaction and digital model generation, the solution synchronizes lip movements, pronunciations, and expressions. This innovation helps enterprises reduce content production costs while enhancing product credibility and value.
Furthermore, business owners can create their digital avatars in various languages on video for business networking, social media, public speaking events, webinars, and more, saving significant time and effort in filming and editing. It also assists brands in building differentiated intellectual property (IP) and making products more appealing. This technology is widely applied in scenarios such as online classes with educators, news anchoring, customer service, and voice assistance.
“We are pleased to collaborate with the S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship Club to promote our AI digital human solution to a wider range of clients in Southeast Asia,” said Bluefin Zhao, Vice President of Tencent Cloud and Managing Director of APAC. “Through this collaboration, we mark the first 2D digital avatar initiative in Tencent Cloud’s international market, and at the same time showcase our advanced technological capabilities and features when it comes to AI-enabled solutions. By introducing our innovative digital solutions, we look forward to a more thriving business ecosystem in this region.”
“We are excited to collaborate with Tencent Cloud to introduce AI Digital Humans to enterprises across Southeast Asia. By offering AI-powered digital avatars and enabling seamless multilingual content creation with personalized avatars, local businesses can leverage their customized AI Digital Humans to enhance engagement with customers and partners both online and offline. This partnership empowers businesses to build smarter and more innovative systems,” added Professor Andrew Chin, Secretary-General of the S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship Club.
