At the 2025 SCO Summit in Tianjin, a multilingual AI robot is revolutionizing media assistance
SCO Summit 2025 Welcomes AI Innovation
The 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, hosted in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1, is one of the largest diplomatic events in the organization’s history. With member nations including China, India, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, and Central Asian countries, this year’s summit blends global diplomacy with cutting-edge technology.
One of the biggest highlights of this summit is the deployment of a humanoid AI robot — Xiao He — who has been tasked with assisting journalists and international delegates throughout the event.
Who Is Xiao He?
Xiao He is a humanoid service robot designed to provide:
- Multilingual support
- Real-time updates and information
- Emotionally aware communication
- Protocol-compliant interaction
- Cultural neutrality and factual accuracy
Introducing itself in a pre-summit interaction, Xiao He said:
“I’m Xiao He, a cutting-edge humanoid AI assistant for the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit. I offer multilingual support, real-time processing, and seamless interactions with media and delegates.”
Designed for the Modern Summit
Xiao He is not just a translator or assistant — it’s a symbol of AI diplomacy. The robot’s AI is powered by emotional recognition algorithms, adaptive learning, and a vast knowledge base tailored for international events.
Key arrangements supported by Xiao He include:
- Separate media zones for domestic and foreign press
- Cultural exhibitions such as woodblock printing and traditional Chinese crafts
- A hands-on Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Zone
India’s Participation at the Summit
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also attending the summit. His schedule includes bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The SCO platform continues to be key for strategic cooperation across Asia.
Watch the Robot in Action
A video of Xiao He in action is available, showcasing how this futuristic assistant interacts with journalists, answers complex questions, and provides real-time support with remarkable fluency and human-like behavior.
The integration of Xiao He into the SCO Summit is a powerful statement on how AI and diplomacy are merging in the 21st century. As the world watches Tianjin host this pivotal event, it’s clear that robots like Xiao He are not just the future — they are the present.
