TENCENT Pony Ma Proposes Reassigning Half of Workforce to AI-native Biz
2026-11-12 16:02:38
TENCENT (00700.HK) founder and chairman Pony Ma said during the company's annual speech that he is willing to reassign half of the company's workforce to AI-native businesses, according to Bloomberg. He also called on all employees to rethink their roles in the AI era and embrace the AI development trend.

He described the industry as having entered the "Age of Discovery", comparing Tencent's core businesses and new AI businesses to the army and navy respectively. He said redeploying half of the workforce to the "navy" would help expand markets and explore new growth avenues, while the "army" should also leverage AI to improve operational efficiency.

Ma's remarks were more aimed at encouraging all employees to apply AI, rather than proposing a comprehensive restructuring of the business framework, the report cited people familiar with the matter as saying. Ma also called for a more flexible corporate structure with reduced middle management, allowing grassroots contributors to gain promotion opportunities.
