The global AI competition is intensifying, with model iteration and scenario penetration creating a resonance As of April 8, 2026, 13:31, the CSI Artificial Intelligence Industry Index (931071) surged by 6.74%. The constituent stock UCloud rose by 12.22%, Intellifusion increased by 10.75%, TRANSWARP TECHNOLOGY went up by 10.65%, and stocks like Aofei Data and Guangyun Technology also followed suit. The Artificial Intelligence ETF Harfor (515980) saw an intraday high increase of over 7%, aiming for a three-day consecutive rise. In news, the World Data Organization (WDO), led by China, was officially established in Beijing, with its headquarters located in Beijing. The preparatory phase has attracted over 200 members, covering more than 40 countries globally, of which about 60 are Fortune Global 500 companies. Zhongyin Securities believes that the establishment of WDO marks China's leap from being a "participant" to a "organizer" in the global data governance field, which will profoundly impact AI training data standards, cross-border flow rules, and model compliance assessment systems, providing institutional support for domestic large models and intelligent applications. Industrial Securities stated that global AI competition is intensifying, with model iterations driving application development. The global AI competition will continue to heat up in 2026, with rapid model capability iterations continuously opening new application spaces, and blockbuster applications are highly anticipated. The overseas landscape is shifting from dominance by OpenAI to a multipolar structure, continuously providing demonstrations for domestic markets; domestically, an application explosion inflection point is approaching, with tech giants accelerating their layouts, and model iterations and scenario penetration forming a resonance. The Artificial Intelligence ETF Harfor (515980) tracks the CSI Artificial Intelligence Industry Index, leveraging the advantages of the index's three-layer closed-loop compilation logic and quarterly rebalancing that closely follows industry trends, making it a quality small-cap index for allocating A-share AI assets. In March, the CSI Artificial Intelligence Industry Index (931071.CSI) completed its latest quarterly regular adjustment. After this adjustment, the core structure of the index maintained a high degree of stability and balance: the ratio of computing power (hardware foundation) to application (software scenarios) remains at the golden ratio of 6:4, while the weight of the three core sub-segments of AIGC applications, optical modules, and ASIC chips each exceeds 20%, collectively dominating the index; this lays the foundation for the index to closely follow the certainty of computing power infrastructure while not missing the potential for application explosions. Investors without stock accounts can choose the Harfor Artificial Intelligence ETF Connect Fund (Class A 008020, Class C 008021) ### Related Stocks - [688343.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/688343.CN.md) - [688031.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/688031.CN.md) - [515980.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515980.CN.md) - [688158.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/688158.CN.md) - [588420.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/588420.CN.md) - [515070.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515070.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [LIVE MARKETS-Big Tech's moat meets AI's tide: disruption or dominance?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286789233.md) - [Citadel CEO Ken Griffin was a prominent AI skeptic.
