On December 2, during the 2025 "Artificial Intelligence+" Industrial Ecosystem Conference, Baidu's Huiboxing Digital Human secured the first - ever "AI Navigation Cup" Starlight Gold Award. At the same time, Baidu is set to take on a pivotal role as a main advocate. It will join forces with organizations like the Internet Society of China to spearhead the creation of the "Grading Standards for Functional Quality of Digital Human Products."

This move is intended to set up scientific evaluation and grading benchmarks for the functionality, quality, and service aspects of digital human products. By doing so, it aims to steer the industry towards healthy and well - organized growth. In Western business and technological contexts, establishing industry - wide standards is a common and crucial practice. It helps ensure product quality, enhances consumer trust, and promotes fair competition. This initiative by Baidu aligns with such global best practices in the tech industry, which will likely have a far - reaching impact on the development of the digital human sector both domestically and internationally.
