THE FUTURE OF AI

Huawei’ s infrastructure innovations tackle six interconnected areas: large-scale compute clusters, agile compute resource pools, vector databases, AI data lakes, multi-site active-active architectures and elastic facilities. The breadth reflects the company’ s conviction that smart cities require comprehensive digital foundations rather than piecemeal solutions.

The Qianhai Smart City Project demonstrates this philosophy in practice. AI-powered public services automate administrative tasks while offering predictive analytics that help city managers spot problems before they escalate.
5G-enabled smart mobility incorporates autonomous vehicle corridors and AI-driven traffic signals, while IoT-based environmental monitoring deploys sensors tracking air quality, water pollution and urban noise.
Public-private partnerships with firms including Tencent provide both funding and technology integration.
Shenzhen Big Data Resource Management Center’ s collaboration with Huawei has created a digital foundation supporting over 70 organisations and 18 million residents.
Sun Fei, Deputy Director, recently unveiled the Smart City Data Center Showcase, demonstrating how AI DC construction principles enable smart cities to scale rapidly. Thailand’ s KBTG shows how this infrastructure adapts across different contexts.
Jarung Kiatsupapong, Vice Chairman and CIO, notes the partnership leverages Huawei’ s“ open and compatible solutions to build an active-active architecture with existing networks, enabling rapid service switchover and continuous availability.”
