Fujian Digital Human Timeline

Notes:

Fujian Province is actively integrating AI digital humans across multiple sectors including government services, healthcare, tourism, education, and broadcasting. Initiatives include AI-powered virtual assistants in hospitals, digital guides in museums and tourist attractions, and intelligent customer service agents in libraries and administrative centers. The province is fostering a robust ecosystem for digital humans through strategic plans, government-backed projects, and public-private collaborations. Key developments include the launch of the “Digital Human Resources” employment platform, the “Red AI Digital Human” educational course, and the deployment of locally branded characters like “Fuduo” and “Xiaoquan.” Digital humans are also being used in livestreaming for e-commerce, virtual reality experiences, legal education, and the preservation of intangible cultural heritage.

The provincial capital Fuzhou has become a national hub for AI-powered digital humans, integrating them extensively into healthcare, education, tourism, media, government services, and cultural preservation. At recent Digital China Summits held in Fuzhou, immersive experiences showcased digital humans answering medical insurance queries, guiding tourists in West Lake Park, and teaching historical lessons through virtual characters like Zhu Xi. Institutions like NetDragon and universities such as Fuzhou University are heavily involved in developing digital human systems, from customer service platforms to livestream hosts. Projects include virtual hospital assistants, digital tour guides, AI teachers, courtroom avatars, and even cultural heritage interpreters. The city has established dozens of digital application zones and experience routes for citizens to interact with these technologies. Companies like Cudo and Metazen Studio contribute to digital human development, while the local government supports initiatives in smart governance and digital public services.
