According to @ai_darpa, China's AI-powered drone show in Chongqing on New Year's Eve 2025-2026 set a new world record by deploying 11,787 autonomous drones, all syncing flawlessly without human pilots (source: twitter.com/ai_darpa/status/2006664387789206012). This large-scale demonstration of AI-driven swarm coordination showcases the practical application of artificial intelligence in event and entertainment technology, replacing traditional fireworks with programmable CGI art in the sky. The business opportunity lies in the use of AI for orchestrating complex, safe, and environmentally friendly public displays, signaling a shift in how global cities can enhance cultural events and tourism through AI innovation.
