Geely's executive predicts potential growth into the world's foremost robotics company.
Geely, the Chinese automaker, has announced ambitious plans to evolve Artificial Intelligence (AI) from a simple task-executing tool into an intelligent assistant capable of handling complex matters. This development aims to make AI more interactive and capable, broadening beyond traditional task automation towards providing proactive and context-aware assistance.
During the 2025 World AI Conference, Geely's Vice President, Li Chuanhai, made this statement, positioning the company as a frontrunner in the evolution of intelligent, AI-powered systems. Li Chuanhai stated that Geely is the fastest company to achieve the transition from traditional automobiles to embodied intelligence.
This advanced AI integration is evident in their vehicles, such as the new Geely Galaxy M9 SUV, which features next-generation driver assistance with dual lidar, high-resolution cameras, and predictive AI. Similarly, Lynk & Co models under Geely’s umbrella are incorporating the G-Pilot H7 high-end ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) powered by high-performance chips like NVIDIA Drive Thor, further pushing smart and autonomous driving capabilities.
By embedding such AI-driven systems across their latest hybrid and electric vehicles, Geely is not just an automaker but a technology leader contributing to the evolution of intelligent, AI-powered systems in transportation. This strategy supports their rapid global expansion and aggressive sales targets, with AI-enhanced vehicles catering to premium and global markets.
Regarding the global robotics industry impact, Geely’s efforts to create AI with deep interaction and thinking abilities can influence the broader robotics sector by advancing AI architectures that combine sensory input (lidar, cameras) and high-level reasoning, possibly transferable to other robotic domains beyond automotive. It could also promote AI safety and autonomy standards through mass-market vehicle implementations, encouraging adoption of intelligent assistant frameworks in robotics.
Moreover, Geely's focus on the AI universe, as suggested by Li Chuanhai's statements, could be a key component in their goal of making AI a more advanced and capable tool for human progress. It is not clear from Li Chuanhai's statements whether the AI universe is a Geely-exclusive network or if it is part of a larger AI ecosystem. However, Li Chuanhai did not specify the exact nature or capabilities of the AI universe in his statements.
Every Geely vehicle will serve as a physical connection point to the AI universe, according to Li Chuanhai. This suggests that Geely vehicles may play a significant role in facilitating user interaction with the AI universe. However, it remains to be seen how this connection will be established and what benefits it will bring to users.
In summary, Geely’s plan is to transition AI into a smart, deeply interactive assistant embedded in their hybrid and electric vehicles, with a strong focus on safety and autonomy. This approach, along with their global scale, positions them to significantly influence the trajectory of intelligent systems in both automotive and broader robotics fields.
