AI-Driven Global Simulation Innovation and Collaborative Governance

Main Forum · 10 Thematic Sessions · International Simulation Technology Exhibition · Business Matchmaking

As the Global Simulation Conference 2026 approaches, the lineup of speakers for its thematic forums continues to be announced. Today, we introduce Director YIN Zihang, Vice Director of the Data and Intelligence Research Department at the Institute of Industrial Internet and Internet of Things, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). He will speak at the Physical AI, Intelligent Simulation and Data Governance Forum. With extensive experience in industrial internet, data intelligence, Physical AI, and multi-agent collaboration, Director YIN has led the development of an industry landscape map for Physical AI and world models. He has also played an active role in shaping national strategic initiatives, including the development of high-quality datasets for AI-driven industrial applications and the establishment of national data infrastructure. His presentation will examine how Physical AI and world models can move beyond technological innovation toward large-scale industrial adoption. He will provide a systematic overview of the industry value chain—from foundational models, simulation platforms, data governance, and computing infrastructure to applications in robotics, intelligent manufacturing, and autonomous driving—highlighting key challenges and the infrastructure pathways needed to enable real-world deployment at scale.

Session Preview

As artificial intelligence evolves from the digital space into the physical world, Physical AI and world models have emerged as critical technical pillars connecting algorithms, data, computing power, simulation environments and real industrial scenarios. Unlike conventional generative AI, Physical AI needs to comprehend not only linguistic and visual information but also model spatial, temporal, causal relationships, physical laws and real-world environments.

This presentation covers the current industrial development of Physical AI and world models, introduces the research and development of the Physical AI and World Model Industrial Map, and systematically sorts out the industrial chain structure and key players spanning foundation models, simulation platforms, data acquisition and governance, computing infrastructure, as well as application sectors including robotics, intelligent manufacturing and autonomous driving. Combined with practices in AI infrastructure and data infrastructure development, it analyzes key challenges for the large-scale deployment of Physical AI in computing, data, simulation, evaluation, security and industrial collaboration. It also explores the infrastructure development pathway for industrial implementation, providing references for translating technological innovations of Physical AI and world models into large-scale applications.

The Global Simulation Conference 2026 brings together leading experts from around the world to explore cutting-edge topics, including Physical AI, intelligent simulation and data governance, embodied intelligence, and industrial foundation models. The conference will feature a main forum and 10 thematic forums covering key areas such as aerospace, smart healthcare, low-altitude transportation, green and intelligent marine equipment, and youth innovation and development.

Director YIN Zihang will bring a comprehensive perspective spanning national strategy, the industry landscape, and underlying infrastructure. We look forward to exploring with you the latest developments and applications of simulation technology, from cutting-edge research to real-world industry applications.
