How to overcome hidden concerns in the trillion dollar race track and solve specific intelligent security problems
2026-05-06
During the May Day holiday, various types of embodied intelligent devices such as robots and robotic dogs frequently appeared in many scenic spots and shopping malls, demonstrating the vigorous development of the industry. However, behind the lively scene, safety hazards also quietly emerged. At the 8th C3 Security Conference held in Chengdu, Sichuan not long ago, a demonstration scene of a commercial robotic dog being hijacked by non-contact network means sounded the security alarm for this emerging industry. Silent activation of high-definition cameras, collection of information, and real-time feedback; Suddenly launching an attack on the mannequin model, easily knocking down both children and adult models; The scene of falling to the ground without warning, convulsing and unable to wake up again... This scene vividly exposes the potential risks of losing control of embodied smart devices. According to a research report released by iResearch Consulting, embodied intelligence is currently on the eve of exponential growth in the next 10 years, with a global market size of 19.2 billion yuan by 2025 and a compound annual growth rate of 73% over the next five years. It is expected to form a trillion dollar market demand in about ten years. The "China Development Report 2025" released by the Development Research Center of the State Council predicts that the size of China's embodied intelligence market will exceed one trillion yuan by 2035. Behind the explosive growth of the industry, safety hazards have also become prominent. In the past, network security mainly occurred in virtual spaces, such as data breaches, system attacks, service interruptions, etc. However, when intelligent agents began to have 'hands and feet', once the system lost control, its impact would no longer be limited to the information level, but could directly affect the real world. "Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group, told reporters that in this sense, the essence of embodied intelligence security issues is to transform 'code vulnerabilities' into' physical destructive power ', and the nature of security issues has been upgraded from' data security 'to' production security 'and' life security '. At present, the prominent problem in China's embodied intelligence industry is still 'strong body, weak brain'. Although it performs well in laboratory environments, its ability to respond to various emergencies in the real world is still insufficient. ”Li Binbin, a senior engineer at the China Electronics Standardization Institute, told reporters that China's embodied intelligence open source model ranks among the top in international evaluation lists. Its core advantage lies in relying on a complete industrial system and rich application scenarios, which can provide real and diverse training environments and data support for embodied intelligence. According to Tianyancha data, according to incomplete statistics, there have been over 70 financing events for domestic embodied intelligence related enterprises since the beginning of this year, an increase of 279% compared to the same period last year. Among them, the total amount of financing disclosed is about 17.4 billion yuan, and there are multiple financing events with unclear specific amounts. From the perspective of the use of financing funds, they mainly focus on the research and development of embodied intelligence core technologies, humanoid robots, core component research and development, and industry scenario application landing, without explicitly mentioning their use for safety investment. Faced with increasingly prominent security risks, multiple forces are working together to explore the construction of a full chain security protection system. In February of this year, the "Standard System for Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence (2026 Edition)" was officially released, marking a new stage of standardized development for China's embodied intelligence industry. Li Binbin revealed that the China Electronics Standardization Institute is focusing on the direction of embodied intelligent data quality and reliability, accelerating the development of relevant national standards and the construction of third-party evaluation capabilities. It is recommended to continue to increase the research and development of common technologies and the construction of basic data, deeply explore high-value application scenarios, establish a security governance mechanism covering the entire life cycle, cooperate with industry, academia, research and application, and promote the high-quality development of the embodied intelligence industry, "said Li Binbin. Security companies have taken the lead in practical exploration. Zhou Hongyi introduced that in the path of security solutions, the core idea of "treating models with models" can be adopted - using AI to counter AI and using intelligent agents to defend against intelligent agents. 360 Group has built a security protection system for AI systems, which simulates the thinking of attackers and creates security agents with the ability to automatically discover vulnerabilities and analyze risks, thus achieving proactive defense before attacks occur. This technological path is not only applicable to general large-scale models, but also to embodied intelligent devices, and has been validated in some industrial control scenarios. Silicon based employees continue to flood into various business systems, and the network attack surface has extended from traditional assets to AI assets. Security protection must keep up with the times. ”Ma Hongjun, Vice Chairman and CEO of AsiaInfo Security, stated that security products must shift from the traditional model of "AI assisted human" to a new paradigm of "AI native". The AI XDR 2026 product released by AsiaInfo Security at the 8th C3 Security Conference includes an "intelligent agent matrix" composed of ten major intelligent agents, achieving a paradigm shift from global joint defense to intelligent evolution of protection. It has been widely used in network security protection for operators, finance, power, and major events. Industrial collaboration and talent cultivation have become important supports for solving specific intelligent security problems. Industry experts suggest that we can learn from the mature experience of the "safety left shift" in the intelligent driving vehicle industry, clarify safety admission requirements during the supplier introduction stage, and promote the establishment of a solid defense line for safety protection in the pre production stages such as research and development, production, and application. The Implementation Opinions of the "Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing" Special Action jointly issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other departments also explicitly propose to promote the cultivation of "artificial intelligence+security" composite talents and strengthen the support of security talents in the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. At present, Yushu Technology and Henan University of Technology jointly establish a joint laboratory, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications offers courses related to embodied intelligent security, providing talent guarantee for industry security protection.
