Zhang Jidong, the vice president of iFlytek, mentioned that the key to success or failure of AI smart hardware does not depend on the form of interaction.

"I find it difficult to be optimistic about many smart hardware products on the market because they do not meet the core needs of users. On November 2nd, during the opening of the 8th World Voice Expo in Hefei, Anhui, Vice President of iFlytek Co., Ltd., Zhang Jidong, stated in an interview that the success or failure of AI smart hardware products does not depend on how cool the interaction form is, but rather on whether they can truly solve the fundamental problems of users. Despite the existence of many robots with entertainment and display functions, as well as AI smart hardware focused on emotional companionship, Zhang Jidong believes that the key is to focus on "what specific niche demands can be solved at the intelligent level."
