Xi Dan: Tencent to Increase Capital Investment This Year, Deepening AI Industry Infrastructure

Tencent Group Senior Vice President and Chief Talent Officer Xi Dan recently stated at the Internet Entrepreneurs Forum of the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit that, unlike traditional infrastructure, infrastructure in the AI era takes more forms, involves faster technology iteration, and is more oriented toward commercial applications, with its construction logic shifting from supply-driven to application-driven. In this round of transformation, leading technology companies should shoulder the primary responsibility for AI infrastructure investment and breakthroughs in key core technologies. This year, Tencent has increased capital investment with intensity exceeding market expectations, with the focus on deepening AI industry infrastructure. In the future, it will continue to prioritize resources for AI infrastructure safeguards such as computing power and data centers.
