In the generative AI sector, the frontier has moved from "image generation" to "industrial-scale monetization." As industry leaders pivot toward building durable business models, the focus is now on the global payment infrastructure required to sustain the creator economy.
Vidu AI, the high-fidelity video platform born from the collaboration between Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University, is moving to anchor this transition.
On December 25, Vidu will host a landmark industry forum in Chengdu titled “Building the Future Ecosystem of AI Comics and Animation.” This event marks a critical shift: moving AI from a creative playground to a commercial powerhouse.
The Barrier to Scale: Cross-Border Payment Compliance
However, scaling globally presents a "non-technical wall." AI video platforms face complex challenges that code cannot solve:
Cross-border payment friction: High decline rates in emerging markets.
VAT/GST Compliance: Managing tax liabilities across 50+ jurisdictions.
Global Subscription Management: Handling recurring billing for a global user base.
The Chengdu forum will bring together a collective of AI platforms, animators, and digital content creators to dissect the anatomy of modern production. The agenda goes beyond the "how-to" of generation, focusing instead on the industrialization of the workflow and the realization of commercial scale.
Waffo x Vidu AI: Solving the "Last Mile" of Commercial Scale
Waffo, a premier global payments merchant services provider, joins as Vidu AI’s strategic partner to solve these "last-mile" commercial hurdles.
For Waffo, the partnership is a strategic commitment to the AI revolution. While Vidu empowers creators to generate content, Waffo provides the [Merchant of Record (MoR)] infrastructure. This ensures that platforms can capture global value securely and compliantly, automating tax filings and fraud protection.
