Alibaba Group CEO Wu Yongming: Achieving "super artificial intelligence" will still take a very long time.

On the morning of November 7th, 2025, the World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit opened. Alibaba Group CEO Wu Yongming delivered a speech at the opening ceremony, stating that AI technology is accelerating towards "general artificial intelligence" and will ultimately achieve "super artificial intelligence". In the face of this intelligent revolution, Alibaba is increasing investment in building super AI cloud, promoting open source and inclusive technology with full-stack AI capability. Wu Yongming stated that the development of AI will go through three stages: the first stage is intelligence emergence, which has been the main theme of the past few years. In this stage, AI features "learning from humans." The second stage is to achieve "general artificial intelligence," which is the current stage where AI features "assisting humans." The third stage is to achieve "super artificial intelligence," where AI connects with the full range of raw data in the real world and has the ability to learn autonomously and iterate on its own. In this stage, AI features "transcending humans" this will take a very long time.
