Wu’s comments come as Alibaba is going through a big change. The company is splitting into six different businesses. Wu will be the CEO of both Alibaba and its cloud computing unit.
Wu said that AI will be important in all sectors in the next decade. He warned that companies that don’t keep up with AI will be left behind.
Alibaba beat analyst expectations in its first-quarter earnings report last month. However, the company is facing challenges from increased competition and a slowing Chinese economy.
