According to the Financial Times, Alibaba CEO Wu Yongming advocates the full implementation of “AI” in Alibaba's existing business. People familiar with the matter revealed that all departments of Ali have been told that their performance in 2025 will be assessed by how to use AI to promote growth. Core e-commerce departments, including Taobao and Tmall, are encouraged to adopt more AI technology. Teams are working closely with Tongyi Qianwen engineers to jointly develop features that improve efficiency and user experience. According to people familiar with the matter, the company is also developing a series of AI-native apps, some of which may be launched this year. “Within the company, we believe that the next killer app based on mature AI technology, an app that is even more popular than Douyin, may soon appear,” the source said.
