Speaking at an internal event on May 10, Tsai said Alibaba will focus on e-commerce and “Cloud + AI” as its two main pillars for future development.


He noted that while e-commerce remains Alibaba’s core strength, the company does not yet hold a dominant position as a universal internet entry point.


To close this gap, Alibaba plans to use AI to build new user gateways and improve shopping experiences through smarter recommendations, social commerce, and virtual assistants.


Tsai said Alibaba Cloud will be essential in scaling AI deployment across the business.


The company is investing in large language models, computing infrastructure, and industry-specific solutions to support enterprise-wide transformation.


AI initiatives are also being rolled out across several Alibaba platforms, including second-hand marketplace Xianyu, search engine Quark, navigation app Amap, workplace tool DingTalk, and B2B portal 1688.
