Welcome to understanding more about World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC).

World Artificial Intelligence Conference, or WAIC for short, is one of the most influential AI events within the global tech, science, and industry ecosystem.

Since 2018, the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) has been successfully held in Shanghai for seven consecutive years, bringing together the world’s most influential scientists, entrepreneurs, government officials, representatives of international organizations, investors, and startup teams in the field of artificial intelligence.
