Alibaba recently announced the launch of a large-scale recruitment plan, opening up hundreds of jobs, 90% of which are related to artificial intelligence (AI). This move marks Alibaba's further deepening in the field of AI, especially in consumer-oriented AI business (AI To C). This recruitment not only demonstrates Alibaba's emphasis on AI technology, but also lays the foundation for its future development in fields such as intelligent information, cloud computing and hardware innovation.
The recruitment is mainly concentrated in Alibaba's AI To C business system, covering multiple core teams and products, including Quark, Tongyi spin-off from Alibaba Cloud, and Tmall Ghost Team. These teams have an important position in cutting-edge technology fields such as text processing, multimodal large models and AI Agent. Alibaba hopes to attract more top talents through this recruitment and promote the innovative application of AI technology on the consumer side.
It is worth noting that Alibaba has made frequent moves in the AI field recently. In early February, Xu Zhuhong, the world's top AI scientist and former vice president of Salesforce Group, joined Alibaba to be responsible for the basic research and development of application solutions for the AI To C business. His joining undoubtedly injected new vitality into Alibaba's AI strategy. In addition, Alibaba's AI application "Tongyi" has been incorporated into Alibaba's intelligent information business group, while the Tmall Ghost Team and Quark Product Team are exploring the possibilities of new hardware such as AI glasses.
Alibaba's series of measures not only reflects its long-term layout of AI technology, but also reflects its diversified development strategy in the fields of smart hardware, cloud computing and consumer services. With the rapid advancement of AI technology, Alibaba is accelerating the implementation and application of AI technology in various business scenarios by integrating internal resources and external talents to maintain its leading position in the field of technology.
