The 23rd China (Guzhen) International Lighting Fair (GILF) kicked off Monday morning at the Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. In the intelligent household light fixtures exhibition area, which is established for the first time, AI conversation display used by many exhibitors has become a special attraction for merchants. The AI robot is smart to produce sentences like "Lighting system is turned to dining mode for you."
