At the first "AI International Talent Summit" on August 26, PPIO co-founder and CEO Yao Xin shared his deep insights on the essential qualities of entrepreneurs in the AI era. This summit, jointly hosted by Hong Kong Investment Management Company and the Beijing Zhiyuan Institute of Artificial Intelligence, brought together top experts and young scholars from around the world to discuss the cutting-edge developments and industry practices of AI technology.
Yao Xin spoke from his own entrepreneurial experience, emphasizing that entrepreneurs in the AI era need to possess a "PDA" mindset, which stands for Problem-Native (problem-driven), Data Flywheel (data flywheel), and Agentic Execution (agent execution). He believes that truly successful AI entrepreneurs are those who can deeply identify industry pain points, rather than simply pursuing large models. He used the example of Harvey AI, an AI company in the legal field, to emphasize the importance of understanding industry expertise and rigor.
After clearly identifying the pain points, Yao Xin emphasized the importance of building a moat. He pointed out that the gap between AI models is narrowing, and obtaining high-quality industry data has become the key to success. By establishing a "data flywheel" - a continuous cycle of data collection, model training, and user feedback, companies can continuously enhance their competitiveness.
Additionally, Yao Xin specifically highlighted Hong Kong's unique advantages in data resources, including high-value financial transaction data and internationally compliant data processing capabilities, which provide a favorable environment for local AI entrepreneurs.
When discussing the ability of AI entrepreneurs to implement and execute, Yao Xin said that the future of AI will not be limited to assisting analysis but will be "digital employees" capable of autonomously executing tasks. This transformation will greatly improve the implementation efficiency of entrepreneurs and help them realize commercial value.
Yao Xin also introduced PPIO's latest product - the first Agentic AI infrastructure platform in China, designed to address the challenges faced by AI agents when executing tasks. By providing a fast-start sandbox environment, model APIs, and GPU cloud services, the platform offers strong support for AI entrepreneurs to implement their ideas.
In conclusion, Yao Xin encouraged young AI entrepreneurs to seize the opportunity, leverage Hong Kong's international platform and PPIO's technological infrastructure, turn their ideas into reality, and promote the deep application of AI technology across all industries.
