Ma Huateng acknowledged the company's tortuous journey in the field of artificial intelligence and humorously described its current situation: "We're on board, but not yet settled in."
On May 13, at Tencent's shareholders' meeting, Chairman and CEO Ma Huateng said that Tencent's basic capabilities in the field of AI were not outstanding in the early stages, but in recent years it has continuously made up for its shortcomings through talent development, team management and internal training, and is now gradually getting on the right track for development.
In response to external doubts about whether Tencent's AI is lagging behind, Ma Huateng gave his most frank response to date.
He said, "A year ago we thought we were on a boat, but then we found out it was leaking. Now it feels like we're standing on it, but we can't sit down. We still hope the boat can go faster."
Ma Huateng also emphasized that Tencent may not be the fastest in the industry to seize opportunities, but it insists on following the right path and combining its own unique advantages to make steady progress. "We can't just look at what others are doing and jump over to them and try to take over their territory. We tried to do that in the past, but we basically failed."
