Key visit details
Location
The programme is arranged at the SenseTime AI Experience Centre in Shanghai. The exact venue, meeting point and visitor route are confirmed during planning.
Shanghai provides a practical base for combining AI learning with visits to technology companies, digital platforms and manufacturing businesses.
Hotel transfers are coordinated around the confirmed venue and traffic conditions.
Format and duration
The standard programme takes approximately two and a half hours, from 09:30 to 12:00. It includes one hour of guided visits and interactive experiences, followed by one and a half hours for the company introduction, AI briefing and Q&A.
The visit provides time to engage with the available exhibits, with explanations from the host. The sharing session builds on these experiences to introduce AI’s development and applications. Hotel transfers are additional.
Who the programme suits
The programme suits business leaders, innovation and digital-transformation teams, product and marketing teams, and organisations seeking an accessible introduction to AI.
Manufacturing, automotive and service-sector teams can connect the industry examples with their own operations. Strategy teams and investors can use the visit to understand the company’s development and application areas.
A technical background is not required. Sharing your industry and learning objectives in advance helps us coordinate the explanations and discussion.
Why visit SenseTime’s AI Experience Centre?
AI can be difficult to assess through terminology alone. Interactive exhibits give participants a practical starting point for understanding how a system recognises information, responds to a user and performs a task.
The programme connects those experiences with a company whose background spans computer vision and broader AI development. This helps teams understand the relationship between research, products and industry applications.
For international delegations, the visit also provides a basis for comparison: which applications address familiar business needs, how customer expectations differ between markets, and what an organisation should consider before introducing AI into its own work.
What the visit includes
SenseTime AI Experience Centre
The guided visit introduces SenseTime’s artificial-intelligence applications through the centre’s available exhibits and demonstrations.
Participants learn about how AI is applied across industries and interact with the exhibits to explore their functions and user experiences. The programme allows time for hands-on participation and questions during the visit.
Specific exhibits and demonstrations are confirmed with the host according to the centre’s reception arrangements.
SenseRobot and interactive AI exhibits
SenseRobot AI chess-playing robots provide a practical example of AI interaction. Participants can observe and try the available demonstration, seeing how an AI system engages with a familiar activity.
The visit also includes interaction with other available AI exhibits in the experience centre. Guided explanations help connect the experience with the application behind it.
The available robot models, interaction format and other exhibits are coordinated with the host.
Company introduction and AI briefing
The sharing session introduces SenseTime, its development and its artificial-intelligence businesses.
An accessible AI briefing explains the development of the technology and its applications. Participants can connect ideas such as computer vision and large models with the experiences they have seen in the centre.
The session includes time for questions and exchange. The emphasis is coordinated around the delegation’s background, with explanations suitable for participants from different industries.
SenseTime’s development and industry applications
SenseTime grew out of computer-vision research and expanded into a broader AI business, including large models and the infrastructure that supports their use. This development provides context for understanding how research capabilities become products and services.
The company’s application areas include urban services, enterprise operations, intelligent automotive technologies and AI content generation. Its SenseNova large-model family and SenseAuto automotive solutions illustrate different directions in the wider portfolio.
These areas provide business context for the visit. The experience centre’s current exhibits and the cases covered in the briefing are confirmed during planning.
Connecting the visit with your team’s interests
Business leaders and innovation teams can focus on the development of AI, application opportunities and how to identify relevant uses within an organisation.
Product and marketing teams may examine the interaction between technology and user experience, while manufacturing and automotive teams can connect the industry examples with quality, operations or mobility.
Teams responsible for data and governance can raise questions about how information is used, where human oversight is needed and what should be considered before applying AI in their own environment.
Priority questions are shared in advance to help the host prepare a relevant exchange.
