ZTE Corporation, a global leader in integrated information and communication technology solutions, announced that Chief Development Officer Cui Li delivered a keynote titled "Unlocking Value and Embracing Uncertainty in the AI Era" at MWC Shanghai 2026. The speech outlined ZTE's strategic response to the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, focusing on value creation and organizational adaptation.
Uncertainty as the New Constant
Cui Li noted that the world is undergoing a profound paradigm shift, with AI iterating at breakneck speed and generating increasingly customized demands. The "one-size-fits-all" model is no longer applicable, she said, emphasizing that in this era, uncertainty is the only certainty. To address this, ZTE has formulated its "All in AI, AI for All" strategy, which aims to unlock AI value to the fullest by embedding AI-native capabilities into products and solutions.
Strategic Pillars: All in AI, AI for All
Under this strategy, ZTE is deeply embedding AI-native capabilities into its products and solutions to achieve a great leap in value delivery. Simultaneously, the company is advancing the agile evolution toward a data-driven organization that features human-machine collaboration. This dual focus aims to enhance efficiency and adaptability in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
Building a Resilient AI System
To navigate the inherent uncertainties of the AI era, ZTE is committed to building a resilient AI system capable of agile actions and fast evolution. This system is constructed from four key dimensions: openness and decoupling, flexible scaling, extreme synergy, and scenarios first. These dimensions ensure that ZTE's AI infrastructure can adapt to diverse requirements and unexpected challenges.
Future Outlook: Human-AI Symbiosis
Looking ahead, Cui Li expressed ZTE's belief that AI is ushering in a new stage of human-AI symbiosis.
