Ant Group CEO Han Xinyi: The commercial potential of intelligent agents will explode in the next 6-12 months.

On the afternoon of August 17, news broke that the Alipay AI Ecosystem Partners Conference was held in Hangzhou. At the opening, Ant Group's CEO Han Xinyi delivered a keynote speech. He believes that the commercial explosion of intelligent agents will occur within the next 6-12 months, and this critical point is mainly based on the simultaneous maturation of three major conditions. He pointed out that the first is the evolution and improvement of AI technological capabilities, with the maturity of intelligent agent reasoning/execution/tool invocation and the continuous enhancement of long-range complex task capabilities; the second is a leap in demand. Han Xinyi stated, In today's era, the dividend from traffic is gone. If we want to seek growth, we still need to find ways to improve efficiency from limited traffic. The third is a sustainable value closed loop. He noted, Improvements in capabilities and efficiency can truly drive the conversion rate of each merchant, impacting their cost control.
