Huawei recently hosted an online event to launch its Smart World series of reports, titled "Working Today, Creating Tomorrow." The event saw the release of two major research reports: "The Smart World 2035: From Vision to Reality" and the "2026 Global Digital and Intelligence Transformation Index." These reports outline trends and insights into building a smart world.
The "Smart World 2035" report identifies 10 key trends that will shape the future of the smart world. These trends focus on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into various aspects of life. According to David Wang, Huawei's Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman, AI will play a crucial role in transforming industries and creating new opportunities.
The report highlights the shift from a digital world centered around applications to a world centered around intelligent agents. These agents will interact with their environment, think, adapt, and make decisions independently. This shift will require significant advancements in computing power, data storage, and communication infrastructure.
The report outlines 10 key trends for building a smart world, including the development of general AI, expansion of computing clusters, and the creation of new storage and memory systems. It also emphasizes the need for smart communication infrastructure, new chip design methodologies, and the development of agent operating systems.
The report stresses the importance of addressing the challenges posed by the increasing demand for data processing and storage. It predicts that the global annual consumption of data tokens will increase by 100,000 times by 2035, with agent-generated data accounting for over 90% of total data.
To address these challenges, Huawei proposes five strategic initiatives: adopting a long-term approach, prioritizing human needs, adhering to the principle of "technology for good," promoting open collaboration, and adopting a systematic and inclusive approach. The goal is to translate technological innovation into tangible industrial progress.
The report also highlights the economic potential of the smart world, with the global digital and intelligence transformation index predicting that AI will generate a cumulative economic value of over $27 trillion in the next five years. The report emphasizes the need for countries to develop their own strategies for building a smart world, tailored to their unique circumstances.
