Ma Huateng Responds to Tencent's AI Lagging Behind Question: Thought we had boarded the AI ship only to find it leaking. Although we have boarded the ship now, we have not yet settled in.

BlockBeats News, May 13th: At the Tencent shareholders meeting, Chairman and CEO Pony Ma gave the most candid response to external doubts about Tencent's AI capabilities. He said, "A year ago, we thought we had boarded the ship, but later found that the ship was leaking. Now it feels like we've stepped on board, but can't sit down yet. I hope the ship can sail faster." Ma Huateng acknowledged the company's bumpy journey in the field of artificial intelligence and humorously depicted the current situation: onboard but not yet settled.

Ma Huateng also emphasized that Tencent may not be the quickest in seizing opportunities in the industry, but it insists on taking the right path, leveraging its unique strengths to proceed steadily. "We can't just go over there when we see others doing something and grab their territory. In the past, we also grabbed territory, but it basically failed later." (Wall Street View)
