在业内专家发表上述观点之际，中国科技巨头阿里巴巴集团周二发布了其财报，显示云计算业务在1月至3月期间同比增长了3%，总收入达到了256亿元人民币（约合35亿美元）。

Its core public cloud products recorded double-digit growth in revenue, while AI-related revenue saw accelerated growth and continued to record triple-digit expansion year-on-year.

其中，核心公有云产品的收入实现了两位数增长，而与人工智能相关的业务更是增长迅猛，同比涨幅高达三位数。

Wu Yongming, CEO of Alibaba Group, said in an earnings call with investors that this wave of generative AI-driven technological innovation is in the early stages of development and they have seen a rapid increase in customer demand for AI since the beginning of this year.

阿里巴巴集团首席执行官吴泳铭在财报电话会议上指出，当前正处于人工智能驱动的技术创新浪潮的初期阶段，自年初以来，公司观察到客户对人工智能技术的需求显著增长。

Alibaba is actively investing in its cloud computing products, especially in AI infrastructure, to capture monumental opportunities, and it will continue to focus on executing a user-first and AI-driven strategy, Wu said.

吴泳铭强调，阿里巴巴正在积极布局云计算产品，尤其是人工智能基础设施领域，以抓住这一历史性的发展机遇。他表示，公司将继续坚持用户至上和人工智能驱动的发展战略。

阿里巴巴透露，与人工智能相关的收入来源于多个领域，包括基础模型公司、互联网公司以及金融服务和汽车等多个行业的客户。

"Going forward, a lot of the incremental growth we can expect to see in the cloud business will be related to investment that customers are making in AI," Wu added.

吴泳铭补充说：“展望未来，我们云业务中的许多新增长点都与客户在人工智能领域的投资息息相关。”

The company recently slashed prices for over 100 core public cloud products in the Chinese market. Over 90,000 enterprises have adopted Alibaba Cloud's AI-powered large language model Tongyi Qianwen since it debuted a year ago.

近期，该公司还对中国市场上的百余款核心公有云产品进行了降价调整。其人工智能大语言模型“通易千文”自推出以来，已吸引了超过9万家企业的使用。

Tencent Holdings Ltd announced on Tuesday that its online advertising sales jumped 26 percent year-on-year to 26.5 billion yuan in the first quarter after it upgraded its advertising infrastructure and deployed AI to more precisely target advertisements on its instant messaging platform WeChat.

与此同时，腾讯控股有限公司也宣布，在升级广告基础设施并部署人工智能技术以更精准定位微信平台上的广告后，其第一季度在线广告销售额同比增长了26%，达到了265亿元人民币。

江瀚还提到，人工智能技术通过分析客户行为和兴趣，提供量身定制的内容和推荐，从而提高了用户的参与度和留存率，在优化用户体验方面起到了至关重要的作用。

The technology will also help companies optimize and adjust advertising strategies, and reduce the cost of advertising, thus improving their business performance, he said.

此外，他还指出，这项技术还能帮助企业优化和调整广告策略，降低广告成本，进而提升企业的整体业绩。

Global market research firm International Data Corp said the IT sector will feel the impact of AI more than any other industry, as every company races to introduce AI-enhanced products or services and to assist their customers with AI implementations. Moreover, Chinese companies respond faster to AI deployments compared to their foreign counterparts.

全球知名的市场研究公司国际数据公司也指出，由于每家公司都在竞相推出人工智能增强型产品或服务，并协助客户实施人工智能技术，IT行业将比其他行业更深刻地感受到人工智能所带来的影响。同时，与国外的同行相比，中国公司在人工智能部署方面的反应速度更快。
