Recently, the 2026 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) kicked off in Las Vegas, USA. This global technology event continues to serve as a key platform for showcasing cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence. Chinese AI company iFlytek presented its innovations under the dual strategy of “independent brand expansion and following market trends,” systematically demonstrating its full-spectrum voice technology in fields such as smart mobility, IoT, and smart office solutions. This showcased China’s innovative prowess in AI technology and its global outreach.
Breaking Language Barriers: From Technical Output to Scenario Integration
Language interoperability is central to AI globalization. iFlytek has long transcended the limitations of mere “functional output” by establishing a “localized empowerment engine” that adapts to global markets. Its self-developed multilingual voice interaction system now covers over 40 languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, and German, while optimizing for the linguistic characteristics and cultural habits of different regions.
At the exhibition, iFlytek demonstrated a car-mounted voice system that facilitated smooth multi-turn dialogues, executed complex commands, and provided emotional feedback, attracting significant attention from representatives of international automotive companies. Additionally, in the smart office sector, iFlytek’s products, such as the AI notebook and ceiling microphone, gained recognition for their strong noise reduction, high-definition audio processing, and real-time multilingual transcription capabilities, making them standout features in multinational office collaboration.
Dual Strategy: Independent Brands and Ecological Partnerships
The extensive implementation of technology stems from the precise layout of the “dual strategy.” iFlytek’s globalization approach is not a one-size-fits-all model; it progresses through both “independent brand expansion” and “following market trends,” covering both consumer and enterprise markets.
In the “following market trends” segment, iFlytek addresses the localization challenges faced by domestic companies venturing abroad by providing customized AI voice solutions. In the smart mobility sector, the Tianqin voice assistant, based on the “1+N central large model” architecture, empowers international car manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and Audi with core functionalities, including full-duplex wake-free operation and multi-intent recognition. It also collaborates with brands like BYD, Great Wall, and ZhiMi to extend their global market reach. In the IoT space, iFlytek has helped the Roborock vacuum cleaner increase its global market share and developed customized multilingual interaction systems for Haier and Hisense, making its integrated software and hardware solutions a smart asset for China’s manufacturing sector abroad.
On the “independent brand expansion” front, iFlytek has achieved breakthroughs through mature strategies. In the professional audio-visual sector, its ceiling microphone, featuring touchless amplification technology, has successfully entered markets in Europe, America, and the Middle East, breaking the long-standing monopoly of international brands. The AI notebook, designed for personal users, incorporates iFlytek’s self-developed meeting large model, supporting 25 foreign languages, 19 dialects, and 8 industry-specific vocabularies, with a transcription accuracy of 98%. The latest X5 series can intelligently match meeting types, producing structured outcomes and seamlessly fitting into multinational collaboration scenarios. Furthermore, its intelligent audio pickup, noise reduction, and real-time transcription features have garnered considerable attention.
From Products to Ecosystems: China’s AI in Global Smart Construction
The display by iFlytek at CES 2026 reflects a deeper logic behind China’s AI technology expansion: it is no longer just about single product output but rather about participating in the global smart ecosystem through technology. Whether enhancing the cockpit interactions for international car manufacturers or providing a more natural appliance control experience for households worldwide, iFlytek is promoting the integration of “Made in China” into the global technology landscape.
Looking ahead, iFlytek aims to strengthen its collaboration with global industrial chains and promote more localized AI solutions, enhancing the global user experience while injecting Chinese momentum into the creation of an open and collaborative global AI ecosystem.
