TMTPOST -- Alibaba CEO Wu Yongming is pushing for the comprehensive implementation of AI across all existing business units within the company. All departments have been informed that their 2025 performance evaluations will be based on how effectively they leverage AI to drive growth. Core e-commerce divisions, including Taobao and Tmall, are being encouraged to adopt more AI technologies. Teams are collaborating closely with engineers from Tongyi Qianwen, Alibaba's AI model, to develop features that enhance efficiency and user experience. Insiders revealed that the company is also working on a series of AI-native applications, some of which may be launched as early as this year. "Internally, we believe that the next killer app based on mature AI technology—one that could even surpass the popularity of Douyin (TikTok)—might emerge very soon," the source stated. This strategic shift underscores Alibaba's commitment to integrating AI into its operations, aiming to maintain its competitive edge and drive innovation in the tech and e-commerce sectors.
