Alibaba has made frequent moves in the field of AI To C and has recently introduced a world-class artificial intelligence scientist, which has attracted industry attention. The scientist has more than 20 years of experience in the industry and academia, especially in the field of multimodal AI, and will focus on the research and development and application of basic big models of Alibaba's AI To C business. This move marks an acceleration of Alibaba's layout in the AI To C track, aiming to enhance its competitiveness in the domestic AI application field and actively respond to market demand.
Recently, Alibaba has ushered in a heavyweight in the field of AI. According to industry insiders, a world's top artificial intelligence scientist has officially joined Alibaba recently and may focus on the research and development and application of basic big models of AI To C business in the future. The scientist has more than 20 years of experience in both industry and academia, especially in the field of multimodal AI, and has led the publication of hundreds of top papers on large models.
This personnel change also marks the acceleration of Alibaba's layout in the AI To C track. Since the end of 2024, Alibaba’s AI To C business layout has begun to accelerate. Tongyi C-end products were split into the intelligent information business group and teamed up with Quark to jointly promote the To C business. The introduction of top scientists this time undoubtedly injects strong impetus into Alibaba's further development in the field of AI applications, showing its determination to stand out among many To C AI applications in China.
During the Spring Festival, DeepSeek dominated the global app store list and became a hot application. This phenomenon also reflects the popularity of the current AI application market and consumers' high attention to AI products. Alibaba's accelerated layout on the AI TO C track at this time has conforms to this market trend and shows its ambitions in the field of AI applications.
Alibaba's move indicates that the competition in the AI TO C field will be more intense in the future, and it also shows its determination to strategic layout and development in the field of artificial intelligence. The addition of top scientists will further promote the innovation and development of Alibaba's AI TO C business, which is worth looking forward to its subsequent results.
