Alibaba is transforming itself from an e-commerce giant into a global AI powerhouse.

The Chinese tech giant has pledged tens of billions of dollars in investment in AI and cloud infrastructure, fueling the development of its own Qwen language models, the Quark AI assistant and ModelScope, an open platform for developers.

Strategic partnerships with brands such as BMW and Apple showcase its ambitions beyond China, while AI integration across e-commerce, logistics, finance and media drives growth.

This episode of “Built for Billions” with Arjun Kharpal delves into Alibaba’s AI evolution, revealing how the company is quietly positioning itself at the forefront of the global race.
