On June 8, the 2025 Global Artificial Intelligence Technology Conference (GAITC2025) closed successfully in Hangzhou. This conference is themed "intersection, integration, mutual generation, and win-win", consisting of 4 keynote reports and 25 special activities, attracting more than 200 experts and scholars around the world, nearly 1,000 people from all walks of life, including government, industry, academia and research, etc. to share cutting-edge reports.
Since held in 2016, the conference has become one of the most large-scale and influential professional events in the fields of artificial intelligence technology and industry. It is worth mentioning that AI application innovation in the field of silver-hailing economy has become a topic of much attention at this conference. As a leading enterprise in domestic silver technology, Huang Xiongfei, vice president of Hongsong Group, was invited to attend the conference and delivered a speech.
Huang Xiongfei said that in response to the pain points of personalized learning, life companionship and quality upgrade of elderly services for silver hair groups, the application of "AI+Silver hair" has huge development potential. Hongsong is using aging-friendly AI products to reshape a new model of learning and life services for middle-aged and elderly people. He also called on the industry to work together to reshape the time value of silver-haired people with technology.
Triplegian silver economy, AI-driven service upgrade
As my country's aging trend deepens, the silver economy has shown strong growth potential, and the market size is expected to jump from the current approximately 7 trillion to 30 trillion in 10 years. Silver hair needs are undergoing three major transformations from a single material need to a multidimensional spiritual need, from focusing on physical health to attach importance to mental health, and from passive acceptance of care to active pursuit of quality.
Huang Xiongfei deeply analyzed the three trend insights of "AI+silver hair". He pointed out that DeepSeek has completed a popular AI popular science campaign, including middle-aged and elderly people. Relevant data shows that 60% of silver-haired mobile phone users across the country have been exposed to AI, and the AI popularization rate of middle-aged and elderly users on the Hongsong platform has reached 89.4%.
"The silver hair group is not a technical weak person, but an in-depth user in the AI era." Huang Xiongfei introduced that different from other age groups, the core needs of the silver hair group in interest learning and life lies in "non-standardized emotions and individual differentiated companionship."
The practical experience of millions of students in Hongsong shows that the learning scenarios of the elderly are more complex and emotional, and every 100 students may require about 60 "emotional teaching paths". In addition, the interest learning of middle-aged and elderly people focuses more on immersive experiences of speaking and hands-on. On the Hongsong platform, on average, 70% of students communicate with the teaching service team through speaking and hands-on every day.
Huang Xiongfei said that 2025 marks the beginning of a new stage of "AI+silver hair". Faced with the pain points of past personalized learning guidance, instant companionship and service quality upgrades, AI technology is becoming a key force driving service upgrades.
AI+silver hair, reshaping a new model of learning and life for middle-aged and elderly people
In real use scenarios, Hongsong found that the silver hair group's need for AI products is not simply information transfer, but companionship, personalized and quality services. A large number of silver-haired users with high knowledge, high vitality, high learning willingness and strong technological acceptance gathered on the Hongsong platform, providing them with a natural field to quickly verify and iterate the effects of AI products, shortening the AI product verification cycle from the conventional 3-6 months to 2 weeks, forming an agile iteration advantage.
Relying on the self-developed interest course system for middle-aged and elderly people and the industry's unique knowledge base, Hongsong has built its core competitiveness. The original "3+1 teaching model" is more in line with the learning rhythm of silver-haired people. At the same time, the average daily human-computer interaction data exceeds 10 million times has provided rich samples for AI model training.
Based on the "AI+Silver" scenario, Hongsong has launched an aging-friendly agent with AI teachers and AI learning assistants as the core. Through real-time two-way voice interaction that meets the habits of the elderly, it provides 24-hour interest learning guidance and personalized chat companionship that can be awakened at any time. At the same time, it can match the user's learning level and difficulties, accurately analyze the learning dimensions, and generate learning feedback and reports in real time.
" Currently, students who have used Hongsong AI products have communicated with AI teachers on average for more than 30 minutes a day, and more than 40 dialogue rounds per person per person," Huang Xiongfei introduced, "Recent data on follow-ups show that user satisfaction is more than 87%. "
The industry works together to promote AI to benefit people of all ages
It is understood that Hongsong Group was established in 2020 and has now established core business segments such as Yinhai Interest Learning, Yinhai Culture and Tourism, Yinhai Consumer Products, and is known in the industry as "the company that understands the communication needs and habits of the elderly in China".
Huang Xiongfei said that in the future, Hongsong's AI products will continue to be based on the real needs of middle-aged and elderly users and expand to a wider range of scenarios. At the same time, it is committed to AI empowering the full process of internal operations of enterprises to meet the needs of more silver-haired people for service quality upgrades and efficiency.
" Hongsong will continue to seek breakthroughs on the road of 'AI+Silver Hair', committed to solving the problems of loneliness and lack of value for middle-aged and elderly people, and reshape the time value of retired people." Huang Xiongfei said, "At the same time, we look forward to working with more AI technology pioneers to tap the application potential of 'AI+Silver Hair', and jointly promote the welfare of technology to benefit all age groups."
