Starting with cloud computing Looking at Alibaba’s overall business towards intelligence, it can be roughly divided into five major sectors: core commerce, payment and finance, cloud computing, logistics and entertainment. Among them, cloud computing is one of its “strengths” outside of e-commerce, with its market share ranking among the top three in the world. On December 20, 2017, at the Alibaba Cloud Computing Conference Beijing Summit, Alibaba proposed an "industrial AI" layout, which is based on Alibaba Cloud and covers six major aspects: home furnishing, retail, travel, finance, smart cities, and smart industry. Industrial layout, from vision, voice, algorithms to chips, to build a three-dimensional partner ecosystem. Cloud computing is the foundation and starting point of Alibaba's AI layout. Founded in 2009, Alibaba Cloud is positioned as a cloud computing and artificial intelligence technology company, providing services to enterprises, developers and government agencies in more than 200 countries and regions. In fact, as early as 2018, Alibaba had determined its "cloud computing" and "big data" strategies and decided to independently develop the large-scale distributed computing operating system "Feitian". In the same year, the Feitian team was formally established, and the following year, Alibaba Cloud Computing Co., Ltd. was officially established. In 2010, Alibaba Cloud was launched for public testing. In 2011, Alibaba Cloud's official website was launched and began to provide cloud computing services to the outside world on a large scale. Today, Alibaba Cloud mainly provides computing and data processing services to enterprises, developers, and government agencies through online public services. The extension and development of the strategy aims to build an intelligent technology infrastructure based on cloud computing for the whole society in the digital economy era. "Zhang Yong mentioned that Hu Xiaoming's outstanding contributions to the development of Alibaba Cloud in the past four years have allowed Alibaba Cloud's technical dreams and business dreams to be integrated and realized. Damo Academy has become an AI technology export outlet. After the launch of Alibaba Cloud, it has become An important scenario for the implementation of AI technology and its gradual commercialization. Among them, the "urban brain" with AI vision technology as the core is an important scenario based on cloud computing. In 2016, Alibaba Cloud was launched. City Brain launches artificial intelligence ET (artificial intelligence system). Based on Alibaba Cloud's computing capabilities, ET has many core skills such as intelligent voice interaction, image/video recognition, traffic prediction, and emotion analysis. It also has multi-dimensional perception, global insight, Real-time decision-making capabilities. For example, in 2016, Alibaba Cloud's artificial intelligence ET successfully predicted the winner of "I Am a Singer" based on principles such as neural networks, social computing, and emotion perception. Today, Alibaba Cloud's artificial intelligence can. ET has already deployed and implemented in the fields of agriculture, modern industry, environment, medical care, and smart city data, using AI to help enterprises become intelligent. In addition to the layout of cloud computing, in 2017, Alibaba also announced the establishment of DAMO Academy, dedicated to developing foundations. Science and disruptive technology, it has 14 laboratories in 5 major fields, including a machine intelligence laboratory that focuses on artificial intelligence technology.
