According to BlockBeats, Tencent Chairman and CEO Pony Ma gave his most candid response on May 13 to criticism about the company’s AI progress at the shareholder meeting. Ma used a metaphor to describe Tencent’s current position: “We thought we had boarded the ship a year ago, but later found it was leaking. Now we feel we have got on board, but we cannot sit down yet.” The statement reflects the company’s challenging journey in artificial intelligence. Ma emphasized that while Tencent may not be the fastest to seize opportunities, the company is committed to following the right path and leveraging its unique advantages steadily, rather than rushing to compete with rivals in areas where it lacks strength.
