📌 Conclusion: The rapid evolution of AI influencers from easily recognizable characters into accounts almost indistinguishable from real people. Thanks to tools from Google, OpenAI, HeyGen, and ElevenLabs, creating an “AI celebrity” has become much simpler and cheaper. While the virtual influencer market is forecast to grow from around 12 billion USD to over 60 billion USD by 2030, social media platforms still lack clear management methods beyond requiring AI content labels. This increases the risks of misinformation, public opinion manipulation, and a decline in user trust toward the online environment.

The Canadian government has announced a new national AI strategy called “AI for All.” Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that this is one of the largest efforts to boost productivity and economic growth through generative AI. The government expects the strategy to create 250,000 new jobs by 2031. Canada forecasts that AI will help increase the national GDP by an additional 3%. This growth is equivalent to nearly 200 billion CAD, approximately 144 billion USD according to the published exchange rate. The goal will be achieved through the widespread commercialization and adoption of AI across key economic sectors. Canada currently…

Argentine President Javier Milei argues that generative AI must be developed freely, avoiding premature regulations that could stifle innovation. He compares AI to the Industrial Revolution, emphasizing that an appropriate legal framework can drive economic growth, similar to the limited liability company model introduced in 1602. According to the article, global GDP has increased more than 200 times, per capita income has risen 15 times, and the world population has grown 15 times since the emergence of the limited liability company model. Milei believes that AI-operated entities should enjoy a limited liability mechanism similar to traditional businesses. The Argentine government…

China is witnessing the rapid development of tech tourism focused on AI and robotics. An increasing number of international investors, entrepreneurs, students, and tourists are visiting Chinese tech hubs. Prominent destinations include Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Hangzhou. Many tour programs last from 3 to 5 days, with costs reaching up to $9,000. Visitors gain access to electric vehicle (EV) factories, robotics laboratories, and AI startups. The tours usually include private discussion sessions with tech business leaders. Companies featured in the itineraries include BYD, Unitree Robotics, and DeepSeek. Many of these manufacturing and research areas are otherwise not open to regular…

The Hong Kong Generative AI Research and Development Center (HKGAI) officially launched the HKGAI-V3 model. HKGAI-V3 is built on the DeepSeek V4 foundation and is geared toward AI commercialization. The model is designed to operate on Chinese domestic chip lines. HKGAI stated that the system achieved significant improvements in performance and Agent capabilities. Upgraded token compression technology increases processing efficiency by more than 10 times. Reducing the number of tokens required for processing helps shorten the model’s response time. The continuous operating time of the Agent increased nearly 100 times compared to before. The Agent Workshop platform, developed based on…

The article suggests that Asia is facing a “window of opportunity” lasting only about 3 to 5 years to become a global AI hub, as nations like Singapore and India sharply increase investments in AI infrastructure, data, and digital platforms. The IBM CEO Study 2026 reveals that 69% of business leaders believe AI has already transformed core operations, and by 2030, corporate strategy will revolve around speed, intelligence, and innovation. However, the rise of regulations regarding domestic data storage and cross-border data flow controls is creating new “digital borders,” complicating regional-scale AI deployment. Gartner forecasts that by 2028, 65% of…
