Several industrial alliance and joint development programs have debuted at the ongoing ChinaJoy event.

They are expected to improve game production, eSports organization, industry healthy development and graphic display effects.

They were issued by tech giants like China Mobile, Huawei and BOE, which have millions of users and deep influence in the industry, Shanghai Daily learnt.

Huawei Cloud, with smart computing capabilities, AI-powered engines and AI large language models (LLMs), will help game firms generate and create contents "on a fast lane."

The AI adoption is used to define game style, design the virtual world and story lines, and improve communication between players and non-player characters, or NPCs, said Jacqueline Shi, president of global marketing and sales service of Huawei Cloud.
