The 2025 Sustainable Global Leadership Conference and the First Green Industry and Sustainable Consumption Expo are taking place from October 16 to 18 in the Huangpu District of Shanghai. Su Dezhong, founder, chairman, and CEO of Yourer Childcare Group, attended and delivered a speech.
Su stated that AI can significantly enhance the quality of future childcare. It not only improves the safety and care provided by childcare centers but also enables the development of a digital twin system for infants and toddlers. This transformation allows us to convert the abstract growth processes of children into quantifiable, analyzable, and traceable structured data. At the teacher's end, multi-modal AI wearables can monitor teachers' cognitive fatigue, stress levels, and emotional changes through heart rate data, thus providing better psychological support for them. On the parental side, large language models enable parents to connect with authoritative experts in various fields to receive personalized and scientifically sound childcare advice and professional guidance. For management, Yourer Group is collaborating with Hikvision to build an AI visual project focused on the safe growth of infants and toddlers, further enhancing the quality of childcare.
Su emphasized having four key components: the scenario, data, content, and brand reputation. Through these, he aims to create superior AI childcare applications in cooperation with outstanding technology partners.
He believes that in the next three to five years, childcare will serve as a vital AI application scenario. Addressing the shift from quantitative to qualitative market demands, Yourer Group's "precise parenting" powered by AI and data meets the urgent needs of the new generation of families for high-quality, personalized, and trustworthy childcare services.
In conclusion, Su pointed out that there is a strategic shift in perception from "cost burden" to "strategic investment." The strategic value of the childcare industry has increased tremendously, as specialized and intelligent childcare services are no longer viewed merely as the "cost of raising children," but as a strategic investment related to the growth of infants, family happiness, female employment, labor force participation, and the long-term balanced population development of the nation by boosting birth rates. This vision reflects the original intention behind Su's establishment of Yourer Childcare after completing his Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Cambridge and aims to co-create a sustainable future for development.
