Can artificial intelligence emulate the critical thinking and adaptability of a human reporter? The China Development Forum in Beijing became an unexpected testing ground for this question as DeepSeek AI engaged global executives in interviews traditionally led by seasoned journalists.
During the high-profile event, DeepSeek AI demonstrated its ability to analyze complex economic policies and pose context-aware questions to business leaders, including discussions on supply chain resilience and sustainable growth strategies. According to participants, the AI displayed surprising nuance in follow-up queries, particularly when addressing Asia's evolving role in green technology investment.
Multiple Fortune 500 CEOs noted the experiment's potential implications for real-time event coverage. 'While human judgment remains irreplaceable for sensitive geopolitical analysis,' said one automotive industry executive, 'this technology could reshape how we disseminate information across time zones.'
The trial comes as mainland Chinese tech firms accelerate AI development, with applications ranging from financial forecasting to cross-language communication platforms. Forum organizers emphasized that such innovations aim to complement rather than replace human expertise in global economic dialogues.
