On November 8, at the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Zhang Chaoyang, the founder of Sohu, expressed his insights to the media regarding the progress of artificial intelligence, prevailing trends in the internet sector, and Sohu's strategic positioning. He highlighted that the internet is stepping into a novel era marked by profound synergy between imagery and AI, where technological innovation stems from ongoing iteration. Zhang Chaoyang underscored that while AI is revolutionizing the way we obtain information, it is crucial for humans to retain their capacity for independent thinking and memory retention. Excessive dependence on AI could impede the cultivation of logical reasoning skills. He disclosed that Sohu Video intends to harness AI to boost content creation efficiency, including generating precise subtitles and intelligent summaries for "Zhang Chaoyang's Physics Class". Additionally, Sohu will persist in its in-depth exploration of the media and video social domains, reinvigorate its American TV drama strategy, and forge a video ecosystem that integrates both "long-form and short-form" content. As for self-media entrepreneurship, Zhang Chaoyang is of the opinion that it presents a cost-effective avenue for gaining influence; however, personal IPs must be nurtured through passion and expertise.
