Kylin, China's homegrown computer operating system (OS), unveiled its first AI-driven version on Thursday, marking a major milestone in the development of independent operating systems in China.
The newly released Kylin AI version, which was released at an OS industry conference held in Beijing, is China's first self-developed software to integrate domestic operating systems with AI technology, featuring powerful AI integration capabilities, intelligent functions, and high-performance computing.
"This version marks an important milestone for our operating system embracing the AI era. It signifies the beginning of comprehensive integration between operating systems and AI. The subsequent work will be focused on continuously enhancing our innovation capabilities and further deepening the integration of AI with the operating system," said Han Naiping, principal researcher at Kylinsoft, the company that developed the operating system.
Kylin is used widely across China in government departments, banking, communications, energy, transport, healthcare and education, as well as in the country's space programs. The arrival of the artificial intelligence version will further enhance Kylin's capabilities in areas like autonomous driving, healthcare, and education.
"Here, you can describe your symptoms in detail as if consulting an experienced doctor. It will then make certain judgments based on your symptoms, and explain it in a way that we Chinese are used to. Here is another example, I had the system draw two Chinese dragons. You can also regenerate them in different styles, such as an ink wash painting style," said Li Zhenning, deputy general manager of Kylinsoft who introduced human-machine interaction on the new system at an exhibition held on the sideline of the conference.

Macao has been emerging as a global hub for conventions and exhibitions in recent years by exploring the enormous opportunities in the sector, driving the region to advance its economic diversification and embrace a brighter future.
Macao has received many awards this year, such as the Best Convention City (Asia) and the Best BT-MICE City, showcasing the recognition for and influence of Macao's exhibition industry.
More than 1,000 electronic game enthusiasts from all over the world gathered recently in Macao to participate in a esports themed event.
Su Zhili, organizer of the event, said that Macao's rich experience in hosting large-scale events, coupled with its good infrastructure, has driven him to choose the region as an ideal destination to hold such an activity.
"Macao has held many similar large-scale events. It has rich experience, and the facilities at the venue are relatively mature, so we can start our work comfortably," said Su.
During the first three quarters of 2024, Macao held more than 1,000 conferences and exhibitions in total.
"We will invite more professional, special conferences to be held in Macao and also cultivate more exhibition brands with international influence in Macao, so as to promote Macao's exhibitions to be more market-oriented, professional, international, digital and greener from various aspects. This is our goal," said Elaine Wong, member of the Macao Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute.
In addition, multiple large exhibitions and conferences, such as the Macao International Trade and Investment fair, the Macao Franchise Expo, and the International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum, are held regularly in Macao.
With the introduction of a series of policies and measures to facilitate the exchanges between the mainland and Macao, as well as the construction and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, Macao's convention and exhibition industry will embrace more opportunities for development in the foreseeable future.
"We have such a good industrial base in the Greater Bay Area. The mode of 'Convention and Exhibition + Industry' not only integrates the industries of Macao, but also the industries of the Greater Bay Area. In addition, Macao actively integrates into the national development and plays a role in the Belt and Road. Why are we so confident in Macao's convention and exhibition sector? Because it is backed by the motherland, and the country gives Macao great support," said Alan Ho, chairman of the Macao Association of Convention, Exhibition and Tourism Sectors.
