D For the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala,many people were surprised by a special performer. Xiao Ma,an AI virtual horse,who sang and danced with a famous pop singer on the stage.Unlike previous virtual performers,Xiao Ma could not only move perfectly,but also react to the singer and the live audience in real time,thanks to the support of 5G Internet and advanced AI technology. To make Xiao Ma look real and lively,the team spent 6 months collecting over 100.000 images of horses,and trained the AI model with them.They also worked with animal experts to make sure Xiao Ma's movements were natural and correct.During the live performance,5G Interet helped send all the data of the singer's movements and the audience's reactions to the Al server in less than 0.01 seconds,so Xiao Ma could respond right away,without any delay. "The 2026 gala is a great example of how AI and the Internet can help traditional shows attract more young people,"said Li,a professor of media studies."Many young people now watch the gala through short video platforms,not on TV.Al events and virtual performers give them more reasons to watch and take part in the gala."
