The year 2025 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. As pivotal converging technologies, Digital Twin and Physical Artificial Intelligence (Physical AI) are driving the development of new quality productive forces with unprecedented depth and breadth. They are fostering profound transformations in areas such as smart cities, industry, energy, autonomous driving, and cooperative vehicle infrastructure, and are set to become the core engines for high-quality economic and social development.

Physical AI is rapidly evolving from a technological concept into a core driver powering the transformation and upgrading of various sectors in the national economy. Its impact extends beyond mere efficiency improvements, driving leaps in key technologies such as high-precision sensing, real-time simulation, and intelligent drive. It also fosters the coordinated development of supporting industries like smart sensing, edge computing, and cooperative control. This has established a complete technological ecosystem encompassing perception, decision-making, and execution, positioning Physical AI as a new type of infrastructure supporting the development of future industries.

Driven by strong national policy support and robust market demand growth, 51WORLD successfully went public in Hong Kong in 2025, becoming the "first Physical AI stock." This marks a milestone event in the industry.

On the same day, the 8th Earth Clone Conference (EC8) grandly opened in Shenzhen.Serving as a key communication platform for the AI industry's core community, this year's conference was specially organized by 51WORLD and invited over 500 Physical AI industry professionals, along with distinguished guests from industry, academia, and investment community. It provided a valuable opportunity for in-depth exchange of ideas and the convergence of forward-looking consensus among industry peers. The event showcased a range of cutting-edge technological innovations and practical industry application cases. In particular, founder Li Yi delivered a keynote speech structured around three narratives: "Origins," "Present," and "Vision." He reviewed and outlined the Earth Clone roadmap spanning 2015 to 2030, elaborated on the technical pathways, and introduced multiple world-leading technologies and products, sketching a future blueprint of how technology can empower industrial development.
