Alibaba Cloud Founder Sees AI Shakeup After OpenAI Hype

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with Bloomberg’s Asia Tech Correspondent Annabelle Droulers, Alibaba Cloud Founder and Zhejiang Lab Director Wang Jian speaks about China’s AI future, what’s next for the tech, his career journey, and addresses the big pay packets being offered to hire AI talent in Silicon Valley. (In his reference to Qwen, a series of Alibaba’s large language models, Alibaba has since clarified that Wang was referring to Alibaba Cloud’s chief technology officer, not the current head of Qwen.)
