Foreign media: UBS predicts that Chinese companies will start to profit from AI agents as early as 2026. Agents are software systems that can autonomously plan and execute complex tasks, and are seen as the next stage of generative AI.
UBS wealth management strategist Gantori said that with advanced models such as DeepSeek R2 continuously maturing, the Chinese market will see more monetization opportunities. Currently, the annual revenue of the US AI agent market is about $15 to $20 billion, widely applied in programming, wealth management, and automation fields, mainly due to the general acceptance of paid software and advanced models by enterprises.
However, in China, the habit of paying for enterprise-level subscription software is insufficient, and AI agents are more concentrated on the consumer end such as shopping and entertainment, so the commercialization is limited. UBS believes that with the improvement of large language models in China, the situation will improve significantly next year.
