On June 22, Liu Qiangdong, founder and chairman of JD Group, revealed at the 2026 APEC Business Leaders Forum in China that JD is fully committed to the 'Giant Vision Model,' planning to collect over 10 million hours of first-person and third-person perspective video data globally. Utilizing JD's advantages in logistics and warehousing, the aim is to train AI to better understand the real world. He admitted that while JD may not be the strongest in large model development, it possesses rich advantages in physical scene data. Liu also announced that all of JD's AI technology will be fully opened to all partners in various countries overseas. 'We do not want any enterprise or any country to create technological divides or barriers,' he stated. 'Technological barriers are essentially technological exploitation, always attempting to use technology to plunder the wealth of other countries, serving only one country or one enterprise, which is not the philosophy of JD Group.' He urged entrepreneurs, research institutions, and government departments from APEC economies to initiate international cooperation in the field of AI as soon as possible. 'I do not believe that in the future era of artificial intelligence and robotics, any single country can face new technological shocks by changing its own system; it must be the result of collective cooperation among countries worldwide.'

On June 22, Kim Yong-bum, South Korea's presidential policy chief, stated that policymakers need to consider how the benefits of the chip industry's prosperity will spread throughout the economy, warning that historically, excess liquidity often ends up in the real estate market. Kim pointed out that driven by the global AI boom, profits in the semiconductor sector have surged, leading South Korea's nominal economic growth rate to reach its fastest level in over two decades. Although macroeconomic indicators show the economy has entered an unusually strong growth phase, many households and small to medium-sized enterprises have yet to truly feel the benefits. Kim noted that South Korea's real GDP growth in the first quarter was 3.8%, while real gross national income growth reached 13.2%, indicating a significant gap that suggests the boost in purchasing power from rising chip prices far exceeds the growth in actual output. He mentioned that most of the income growth generated has not yet been reflected in the broader economy but may gradually manifest in the coming quarters through bonuses, wage increases, and the return of export revenues, potentially supporting luxury consumption and real estate demand. 'Historically, such funds have often flowed into the real estate market, making it difficult to assume this cycle will be any different,' he stated.

On June 22, according to Fortune China, former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg recently addressed graduates at Brandeis University, stating: "There’s no need to make a ten-year plan; you only need to do two things: first, find a short-term direction and clarify your current goals; second, hold a long-term vision and think about what kind of life you want to lead. Don’t worry about how to connect the two; the future path of life is full of surprises, and opportunities are hidden within those surprises." In today's job market, heavily impacted by AI technology, popular positions that are currently sought after by graduates may undergo drastic changes or even disappear within just a few years. In this context, attempting to plan one’s life trajectory is not only futile but may also lead to missing out on valuable opportunities to reshape one’s destiny. Sandberg’s advice comes at a time when many young professionals are feeling anxious. "I understand that many of you are worried about the future, which is completely natural," she said. "You’ve probably seen the news reports that this year’s graduates are facing the toughest job market in decades." However, she also emphasized that employment challenges have always existed. "Every year, people say that year is the hardest for job seekers; this notion has been around since the concept of 'graduation' began," she added. "I’m not saying it’s easy to find a job now, but every generation eventually finds a solution and successfully navigates through the difficulties."
