Join Tony Wang, co-founder of Agora, in this insightful session at SuperAI Singapore 2025, titled "Beyond Tokenization: Shaping the Future of Conversational AI." Tony explores the complexities of conversational AI, moving past tokenization of language towards a future that integrates real-time, multimodal interactions across audio, visual, and sensory inputs.

Tony discusses how current conversational AI lacks emotional intelligence, a vital component for creating human-like interactions. He emphasizes the need for AI to understand body language, gaze, and emotion – elements that make human conversations rich and nuanced. Tony argues that without these capabilities, AI remains unengaging and fails to capture the essence of true human interaction.

The talk sheds light on technological challenges such as latency synchronization, audio-visual integration, and the absence of industry standards for human-like interactions. Tony envisions a future where conversational AI, embedded seamlessly in everyday devices, becomes as ubiquitous and essential as water and air, driven by data and capable of real-time emotional engagement.

This presentation is a must-watch for industry leaders, AI developers, and entrepreneurs aiming to innovate in the conversational AI space. Tony offers a fresh perspective on future possibilities and practical insights for overcoming current limitations.
