Following the consumer artificial intelligence track, technology giants began a new round of fighting.

On July 20, Peng Chao, vice president of Alibaba Group and president of Smart Interconnection, said at the Tmall Elf partner conference that Alibaba has set up a new first -level business intelligent interconnection to explore more consumer artificial intelligence forms. According to reports, after three years of open service, the intelligent interaction system AliGenie has access to 40 million household users, 1,000 property federation platforms and 460 million terminals. "In the future, we will also create an intelligent interface platform in terms of ecological services, and provide partner developers with application kits, end -side architecture, algorithm model, chip module, cloud IoT, training platform, etc. ability."

In fact, before Alibaba, Baidu had successfully entered the consumer terminal from the Internet technology field and focused on consumer artificial intelligence business layout. As early as 2020, Baidu announced that its smart living business group business completed the signing of an independent financing agreement. Iterations became small technology, which mainly engaged in smart speakers and smart router intelligent electronic consumer formats. In addition, HKUST Xunfei has always regarded artificial intelligence -based C -terminal business as a starting point for driving income.

In the final analysis, the company's artificial intelligence business layout is considered from the business level. HKUST Xunfei's 2021 financial report showed that the company achieved operating income by more than 18.3 billion yuan throughout the year, of which consumer business revenue was 4.687 billion yuan, an increase of 52.19%year -on -year, maintaining a rapid growth momentum. Baidu's 2022Q1 financial report also shows that the continuous expansion of the AI ​​ecology has promoted smart services to bloom. Among them, small degrees have reached a strategic partnership with over 500 well -known companies. The connected IoT smart home equipment exceeds 200 million, covering more than 60 categories.

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, launched a special action plan for the digital and consumer goods industry in 2025. It plans to achieve significantly enhanced digital technology integration applications in the field of consumer goods industry, creating more new smart terminal products. In the face of a larger policy window period, Internet companies and technology companies will inevitably further surround artificial intelligence technology to increase consumer business.

For an enterprise, consumer business needs to build a complete ecological chain, and the ecological chain must build a moat based on the same brand concept, design style, and supporting each other. Behind it is the support of a large number of partners. For Tmall elves, which are still in ecological wasteland and looking for partners, Baidu, Xiaomi, and Huawei are all huge challenges.

The release of the Tmall Elf X1 independently developed by the Ali Artificial Intelligence Lab has been released five years. The establishment of a new intelligent interconnection business line has proved that it is eager to find partners and improves the ecological intention; but "can't eat hot tofu", Tmall elves will not be small in the next three years.
