SenseTime becomes a valuable artificial intelligence (AI) company. It is established in Hong Kong with additional offices across China, Singapore, Japan, Abu Dhabi and the United States. The company has a portfolio of 700 clients and partners, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Qualcomm, Honda, Alibaba, Weibo, and more. It was the world's first Artificial intelligence unicorn and is valued at over $7.7 billion.

The company develops AI technologies including facial recognition, image recognition, object detection, text recognition, medical image analysis, video analysis, autonomous driving, and remote sensing for a variety of industries from healthcare to finance, online entertainment to education, retail to security, smart cities to smartphones, and more.

In 2019, the company was placed on the United States Bureau of Industry and Security blacklist (known as the Entity List) for using its technology for human rights abuses on Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities.

SenseTime's business in China has been prosperous even it was blacklisted on the list of U.S Entity of Chinese company. SenseTime's revenue increases sharply to 5 billion Yuan (720 million USD) in 2019 which is 147% increased of revenue compared to previous year. Customer base also increases from 500 to 1200 clients including Chinese local governments using SenseTime's face analyzing technology to ease off the pandemic effect. The government has installed sensors to monitor the city's subway entrances. The camera provided by SenseTime can detect whether passengers are wearing masks, their body temperature, and even their identities with their faces covered.

SenseTime's facial recognition not only can detect people's body temperature, but also can let people pay tickets while using the subway through facial scans. Hence, the demand of SenseTime's face and body analying technology is growing though the local government in China. SenseTime has currently cooperated with 127 cities in China that have installed its facial recognition surveillance cameras. The facial recognition system of the subway has been deployed in cities such as Zhengzhou, Xi'an and Harbin in the northeast. When riding the subway, people can pay through facial scans, which makes it easy to recognize even if they wear a mask.
