(Source: Lei Feng Network)

On June 2nd, at the 2026 Beijing Cybersecurity Conference (BCS 2026), the 2026 China AI Agent Leaders List was officially announced. Over 100 intelligent agents submitted by more than 100 companies across 20 industries were selected for the list, comprehensively showcasing the latest landscape of intelligent agent technology implementation and industrial innovation in China.

The selection was jointly initiated by authoritative institutions such as the China Internet Association and the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance, and organized by the Beijing Cybersecurity Conference (BCS). The aim was to select exemplary cases that demonstrate innovation, demonstration, and safety. Unlike previous evaluations that focused heavily on technical indicators, this evaluation emphasized both application value and controllable security. The focus was on the depth of implementation and sustained operational capability of intelligent agents in real business scenarios. Therefore, data security and permission control around intelligent agents became critical evaluation criteria.

Former directors of the First and Third Research Institutes of the Ministry of Public Security, Yan Ming, the chairman of the Computer Security Special Committee of CCF; Huang Qingcheng, the chairman of the Data Security and Governance Working Committee of the China Internet Association; Zhao Lin, the former deputy director of the Science and Technology Information Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the chairman of the Digital Security Professional Committee of the China Security Prevention Product Industry Association; Jing Jing, the senior business manager of the Security Governance Department of AIIA (China Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance) and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, attended the event and presented certificates to the selected companies.

Since the application submission began on March 30th, hundreds of applications from various industries including government affairs, finance, telecommunications, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and more were received. The evaluation comprehensively assessed the advanced technology, application effectiveness, security, and replicability of the submissions, ultimately forming the "2026 China Intelligent Agent Industry Map."

Selected projects not only cover a wide range of areas but also demonstrate significant value in real business scenarios. From code security auditing to smart customer service, from power inspection to government office work, intelligent agents are becoming crucial tools for enterprises to reduce costs and improve efficiency, and for governments to enhance governance capabilities. This marks the transition of China's AI technology from "usable" to "effective," and heralds the arrival of a turning point for the large-scale implementation of intelligent agents.

Four Major Tracks, Witnessing Intelligent Agents Moving Towards Full Industry and Scenario Implementation

The top 100 intelligent agents selected this time were strictly chosen according to four core tracks, covering the core development directions of the intelligent agent industry. Each track has seen the emergence of leading enterprises with technological leadership and exemplary implementation.

(I) Key Capability Intelligent Agents: Building the Safe Foundation of AI Applications

This track focuses on core supporting capabilities such as AI security protection, data privacy protection, intelligent operation, and code security, which are the foundational bedrock for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the intelligent economy. Among the selected projects, Hubei Bank's AI Code Security Intelligent Agent and North Silver Financial's AI Code Security Audit and Automatic Verification Intelligent Agent have solved the security pain points in code development. China Life Insurance (Overseas)'s "Guo Shou Cross-border Compliance Security Operation Intelligent Agent" uses AI technology to intelligently identify, dynamically monitor, and automatically handle compliance risks in cross-border business, providing a digital safeguard for financial institutions going global.

Ping An Securities' Threat Intelligence Analysis Intelligent Agent and Qihoo 360's Threat Intelligence Analysis Intelligent Agent have built an intelligent cybersecurity threat disposal system, significantly improving the efficiency and response speed of security operations. China Unicom Guangzhou Software Institute's Intelligent Maintenance Intelligent Agent and Inspur Information's Security Protection Intelligent Agent have achieved technological breakthroughs in intelligent maintenance and infrastructure security protection. Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud's "DDoS Security Operation Intelligent Agent" and "Cloud Security Intelligent Agent" demonstrate the deep accumulation and layout of public cloud providers in intelligent security operations.

(II) Organizational Operations Intelligent Agents: Reshaping the Efficiency Engine of Enterprise Operations

Organizational operations intelligent agents are quietly transforming core functions such as human resources, marketing, customer service, and legal affairs in enterprises, becoming new tools for reducing costs and improving efficiency. In the marketing and service domains, Toyota Motor's "Lexus Customer Service Intelligent Agent" and Beijing Drainage Group's "Hotline Intelligent AI Calling System" showcase the AI upgrade practices of multinational automakers and state-owned enterprises in customer service.
