China Vanke’s virtual debt collector, Cui Xiaopan, received the company’s outstanding newcomer award for 2021.The growth potential for artificial intelligence applications in China appears to remain strong, following property developer China Vanke’s recent move to name its in-house-developed virtual debt collector as a top employee for 2021.

That development has become a prime example of why China, which plans to be a world leader in AI by 2030, is predicted to deploy more virtual employees this year, according to a report by consulting firm Analysys published this week. China Vanke, the country’s third-biggest home seller by sales with about 140,000 employees, is already known for rapidly implementing technology, including robot cooks to prepare lunch, at its various projects on the mainland to save on human resources and maintain a high level of standard for its services.

Use of virtual humans has already become popular in the fields of retail and entertainment in China. Virtual idols, for example, have caught the imagination of the Chinese population after initially blazing a trail in Japan in the 1990s.
