Webinar by Chinese Tech Giant iFlyTek and Eurasia Development

On February 2, iFlyTek, together with Eurasia Development Ltd. and the TechNode Global platform, held a webinar entitled “The Digital Future and Artificial Intelligence: How Can Speech Recognition Help Businesses?”

The webinar featured:

• Vladimir Dyakov, Head of Development Programs at the Moscow Innovation Cluster, who provided an overview of the Russian market for speech recognition platforms;
• Cola Liu and Tian Zhang, senior executives at iFlyTek, who discussed Chinese practices in this field as well as the fundamental differences between Chinese and Western solutions;
• Lena Pospelova, Vice President of ABBYY, who presented real-world cases of cooperation between China and Russia involving AI products and platforms;
• Maxim Dolgov, Head of Digital Products and Technologies at Beeline, who spoke about Russian cases in which speech recognition technology had been applied;
• during the final session, all speakers discussed the future of speech recognition technology, promising industries for AI technologies and answered questions from the audience.

The webinar partners were Vinci Agency, the Skolkovo Foundation, the Moscow Innovation Cluster and the Startech.vc venture fund.

“The benefits of developing speech recognition technology are significant. Just a few years ago, we were impressed that a car navigation system could immediately understand an address spoken aloud. Today, companies use voice recognition to conduct large-scale marketing research that would previously have required hundreds of people.

During the COVID-19 epidemic, such systems were used to maintain contact with patients and record changes in their symptoms.

We are pleased to announce that iFlyTek, a global AI giant, agreed to hold a webinar together with Russian experts. Their experience will be valuable not only to developers, who will gain access to one of the world’s most advanced engines, but also to entrepreneurs who still believe that AI is of little use to small businesses.”
— Andrey Prokhorovich, CEO of Eurasia Development Ltd.
