Jianggan Li on AI: “AI reshapes e-commerce, accelerates platform adaptation”

Tech influencer Jianggan Li discusses AI’s impact on e-commerce and platforms, emphasising its transformative role and adoption by major players like Alibaba and TikTok

Jianggan Li, founder and CEO of Momentum Works, observed a significant trend of extensive AI use in live commerce during his recent visits to key cities in China, including Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

He noted that every multi-channel network he visited had embraced AI, using it for tasks ranging from creating digital influencers to generating personalised video content.

This widespread integration of AI is reshaping e-commerce, prompting major platforms like Alibaba and TikTok to prioritise AI and e-commerce in preparation for a future that differs significantly from the present.

He highlighted the strategic shift of TikTok’s founder, Zhang Yiming, from day-to-day management to AI-related initiatives. Li attributes this move to Yiming’s engineering background and recognition of AI’s potential to revolutionise the platform, underscoring the importance for businesses like Alibaba and TikTok to embrace AI, invest in understanding its implications, and integrate it into their long-term strategies.
