On March 24, COSCO SHIPPING Development successfully conducted the second session of its company-wide AI Agent Application Training for the Industry-Finance Platform. This training reflects the company’s “Company-Wide AI” innovation ecosystem strategy, providing targeted support for digital transformation and intelligent upgrading, and accelerating high-quality development.
Insight into Trends, Igniting Momentum
AI adoption is currently advancing toward the development of intelligent agent ecosystems, with industrial intelligence rapidly transforming the shipping and industry-finance sectors. The training opened under the theme “Ignite the AI Engine, Empower Intelligent Agents.” Li Weiye, a senior expert from ByteDance, provided a systematic overview of intelligent agents, including their development history, core concepts, operating logic, key technologies, and ecosystem. Focusing on industry trends and AI agent cognition, he illustrated practical implementation pathways in core scenarios such as shipping logistics and industry-finance services. This helped participants quickly build foundational understanding and recognize the value of AI in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enhancing quality.
Technology for Good, Security as the Foundation
The program also included a dedicated session on “Cybersecurity and AI Security Risk Prevention and Control.” Zhang Taining, an engineer from COSCO SHIPPING Shipping Advanced Technology Research Institute, provided an in-depth interpretation of national and corporate cybersecurity policies and regulations. Addressing key risks and common vulnerabilities across the AI application lifecycle, he shared best practices in AI security, data security, industrial control security, and cyber resilience. This session strengthened the security framework for AI agent applications while reinforcing a balanced approach between innovation and risk management.
Building Foundations, Enabling Application
The “AI Scenario Mapping Workshop” used a group discussion format to identify and analyze AI application scenarios based on real business operations. Teams focused on key challenges such as process optimization, efficiency improvement, and business innovation, conducting in-depth exploration of AI agent applications across different business segments. This resulted in a structured roadmap of implementable, scalable, and iterative solutions. By integrating “technology + business,” the workshop transformed AI agents from abstract concepts into practical tools, laying a solid foundation for broader deployment and routine application.
The training adopted a hybrid online and offline format, with more than 330 participants from headquarters and subsidiary units. As a practical step in advancing digital and intelligent transformation in the shipping industry-finance sector, the program aligned closely with cutting-edge AI trends, addressed industry upgrade needs, and upheld strong safety and compliance standards—achieving integrated improvements in technology understanding, risk management, and business application.
Looking ahead, the company will continue to expand AI scenario development and application, balance innovation with security, and unlock new growth drivers through digital intelligence—supporting high-quality development with next-generation productivity.The training adopted a hybrid online and offline format, with more than 330 participants from headquarters and subsidiary units.
