E-five friends early eight: Beijing time on June 22 morning news, last year, Alibaba founder Ma Yun spent 800 hours around the world. He plans to increase this number to 1,000 hours in 2017 to promote his fast-growing e-commerce platform, globalization and artificial intelligence.
This week, Ma Yun accepted an interview with CNBC Financial TV in Detroit's Gateway'17 conference to discuss a number of topics.
The following are the main contents of the interview:
Gradual giantThe world's largest listed companies, such as Apple, Alphabet and Amazon, have been very strong in recent years. Some commentators believe that these companies are suspected of monopolizing.
However, Ma said that the strength of the giant company is gradually declining, and the Internet is helping more small businesses to achieve development. He said: "The scale is the former model. Personalization and customization are the future."
In January of this year, Ma Yun met with US President-elect Trump. He said at the time that Alibaba plans to provide 1 million jobs to the United States in the next five years, and the main way is to promote sales of small businesses.
Ma said: "One of the best ways to explore job creation is to help small businesses sell their local products. We must be prepared now because the next 30 years will be painful."
Trade and globalization
The collision between the economic and political systems is creating tensions between China and the United States.
Before meeting with Chinese leaders this year, Trump said on Twitter: "We will never have huge trade deficits and job losses. US companies must be prepared to consider alternatives."
However, Ma said to CNBC that he believes that Trump's priority, that is, more "Made in the United States", will be the perfect choice for China's growing middle class. Ma Yun pointed out that Alibaba had sold 2 million American-made lip glosses in 15 minutes.
artificial intelligenceMa Yun said that artificial intelligence and globalization have brought new opportunities and risks, and this is his two main themes of continuous concern.
He said: "That's why I want to travel everywhere, talk to all government and national leaders, and tell them to act immediately. If they don't move fast enough, they will be in trouble. So, when you see the upcoming trend, We must be prepared now. I believe that we must plan ahead."
Ma Yun pointed out that artificial intelligence will bring a lot of help. This can alleviate the burden of human work and allow them to travel more.
“I think that in the next 30 years, people only need to work 4 hours a day, maybe only 4 days a week. My grandfather works 16 hours a day in the field. He thinks he is very busy. We only work 8 hours a week. 5 days, but I think I am very busy."
He also said that if people only travel to 30 places, they will reach 300 in the next 30 years.
However, he also pointed out that if the government does not want to make "difficult choices", then the rich and the poor, the boss and the employees, will gradually be defined by data and automation.
“The first technological revolution led to the First World War. The second technological revolution led to the Second World War. This is the third technological revolution.†With the death of many jobs caused by machine learning and artificial intelligence "The third technological revolution may lead to the Third World War."
Ma Yun is a well-trained teacher. He said that leaders of the world should pay attention to the education system and avoid the pain caused by automation technology.
He said: "I believe that we should not develop machines like humans. We should make sure that machines only do things that humans cannot do."
He believes that the machine will never gain the wisdom and experience of human beings. "Humans will win."
