During Tencent's 28th-anniversary Linktime online livestream, Tencent Board Chairman Pony Ma stated that the AI business marks Tencent's first move into a heavy-asset business, and that its financial and organizational approach is entirely different from the light-asset businesses of the past—so organizational change must be vigorously pursued. Reflecting on how, around 2021, Tencent launched cost-cutting and efficiency-improvement measures and refocused on its core business, he stressed that what is needed now is not simply structural cost reduction but a life-or-death transformation—one that determines whether the company can adapt to the new AI battlefield. The core goal, he said, is to adapt to this new battlefield. He noted that the AI wave has truly arrived, and the entire industry must act as soon as possible to drive major adjustments to people and organizations, promote organizational flattening, and accelerate the upgrading of personnel skills. On the basis of defending traditional core businesses and improving efficiency, half of the workforce should be allocated to new battlefronts such as AI—shifting from land warfare to sea warfare and responding quickly.
