In a bold move towards the future, Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi, announced his commitment to integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology into the company’s end products. Speaking at the Deputies' Corridor ahead of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), Lei emphasized Xiaomi’s dedication to science and technology innovation.
\"We are committed to the path of sci-tech innovation and high-quality development, fostering new quality productive forces by integrating the latest AI technology into various end products and enabling consumers to experience the wonderful life brought by technology,\" Lei stated. This vision highlights Xiaomi’s focus on enhancing user experiences through cutting-edge technology.
Since its inception 15 years ago, Xiaomi has grown into one of the top smartphone manufacturers globally, with sales reaching 170 million units in 2024. The company’s expansion into the automotive sector last year has been nothing short of impressive. Xiaomi’s SU7 model has set itself apart by outperforming some of the world’s top race cars while being priced at only a third of their cost.
The SU7 Ultra recently made headlines by breaking the Shanghai Circuit lap record, earning praise from Porsche in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. This achievement underscores Xiaomi’s rapid advancement in the electric vehicle market and its commitment to high-performance standards.
Lei was also a key participant in the recent symposium on China's private enterprises, underscoring his role not just as a business leader but also as an NPC deputy dedicated to shaping the future of technology and innovation in the region.
