BABA-W (09988.HK) appointed seasoned business executive Zhou Jingren to lead its AI unit, marking a strategic shift from open-source AI to monetizable models, with the aim of creating commercial value through a dual-engine strategy of AI models and its consumer ecosystem, according to market hearsay.

Zhou had previously served as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Alibaba Cloud, information showed. His takeover of the AI division stemmed from strategic differences within the company, which had led to the departure of senior executives from the flagship Qwen team.
