The Smart TV Industry Summit Forum recently took place in Beijing, where the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce and Jingdong Home Appliances jointly released the "2017 Artificial Intelligence TV White Paper." This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and future trends of the domestic artificial intelligence TV industry. Concurrently, the "Artificial Intelligence Television Industry Alliance," co-founded by the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce and JD.com's home appliance division, along with partners including Changhong, TCL, Hisense, Storm, Xiaomi, LeTV, Microwhale, and others, was officially established. This alliance aims to bring together forces from various industries and academia to collaborate on technological innovation, application breakthroughs, and marketing efforts to further integrate artificial intelligence technology with the TV industry.

The White Paper offers a definitive definition of what constitutes an Artificial Intelligence TV. It emphasizes that these TVs must be capable of receiving user commands via sensors, identifying user intentions using basic applications and data platforms, making appropriate responses, and utilizing deep learning algorithms to analyze user behavior and preferences. This results in more precise interactions and personalized content recommendations.
Consumer awareness of artificial intelligence in TVs has been growing rapidly. A survey conducted by the Consumer Electronics Research Office found that among new TV technologies like OLED, quantum dots, lasers, and artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence ranked highest with 38% awareness. This indicates significant public interest in the integration of AI into everyday appliances.
Dr. Zhang Subing from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology noted improvements in the intelligence capabilities of AI TVs. Tests evaluating multiple aspects such as response times, recognition accuracy, and recommendation precision revealed impressive results. For instance, mainstream AI TV models now boast a 97% voice recognition accuracy and under three-second response times. Despite these advancements, challenges remain—especially in enhancing search functionality and expanding recommendation scopes.
Renowned appliance expert Mr. Lu Jiebo highlighted how AI is transforming TVs beyond mere entertainment devices into central hubs for smart homes. Features like voice control, multi-functionality, and connectivity with other smart devices are setting the stage for a smarter lifestyle.
Recognizing this shift, Jingdong has responded by launching initiatives like the "Artificial Intelligence TV Festival" to accelerate adoption. Data shows that within the last year, searches related to AI TVs on Jingdong have surged, reflecting increased consumer interest. By July 2016, AI TVs made up 13.3% of Jingdong's flat-panel TV SKUs; by July 2017, this figure doubled to 26.5%.
Mr. Jang Dongsheng, General Manager of JD.com's Black Power Marketing Department, emphasized the role of retailers in driving innovation and fostering industry growth. He announced plans for a special event on July 28th featuring discounts and promotions aimed at making AI TVs accessible to more households.
