As AI increasingly empowers industrial upgrading, enterprises' expectations of AI are shifting—from knowledge acquisition and content generation toward task execution, process coordination, and the delivery of professional outcomes.

During the 2026 World AI Conference in Shanghai, EY Greater China unveiled its enterprise-level Al work platform—EYA Meta-Core Engine2.0.

Powered by a multi-agent architecture, the engine delves deep into core areas including finance, sustainability, valuation analysis, and risk management. It autonomously plans tasks around business objectives, invokes specialized tools, and executes collaboratively, delivering ready-to-use, professional outputs. This advancement drives enterprise-grade AI from "providing answers" to "delivering outcomes."

Michael Bi, managing partner of EY Greater China Markets, said that AI is reshaping the way value is created in business operations and professional services. The engine's launch represents a significant step in EY's commitment to deepening digital and intelligent innovation and upgrading its professional service delivery model. Built on EY's deep domain expertise, the platform will drive deeper integration of AI into enterprise management and operations, continuously enhancing decision quality, operational efficiency, and risk resilience—injecting new momentum into high-quality corporate development.

The engine includes multiple AI tools designed for precision scenario applications across key areas of enterprise management, such as CFO AI Insights, ESG Pro, Optimus SmartVal, Surveymind, and Internal Control & Risk AI Agent.

Judy Li, leader of ESG & Sustainability, EY Greater China, said that enabling AI to truly execute processes and deliver actionable results has become a critical imperative for enterprises in their digital and intelligent transformation. The engine focuses on real‑world business scenarios, drives complex tasks from demand response to outcome delivery, and empowers enterprises to achieve sustainable growth through AI.

EY Greater China's AI & Data Competency Leader Chen Jianguang noted that what will truly create business value in the future is enterprise‑grade agents that can continuously understand business context, dynamically plan tasks, and execute collaboratively through multi‑agent coordination.
