Alibaba CTO Wang Jian Drops Bombshell: 90% of AI Projects Doomed to Fail Within a Decade

Tech's latest gold rush is headed for a reckoning—and the numbers don't lie.

Alibaba's top technocrat Wang Jian just threw ice water on the AI hype machine, predicting a brutal 90% failure rate for AI initiatives by 2035. Here's why the smart money's already hedging.

The graveyard of abandoned algorithms

Most AI projects will flame out from three killers: overpromised ROI, half-baked data pipelines, and that pesky human tendency to think 'this time is different.' Sound familiar, crypto bulls?

Survival of the funded-est

The remaining 10%? They'll be the ventures that actually solved business problems instead of chasing shiny object syndrome—and had VCs willing to burn cash like degenerate gamblers at a Bitcoin ATH party.

Wang's warning cuts through the Silicon Valley Kool-Aid: true innovation requires more than GitHub repos and press releases. But try telling that to founders pitching 'Web5 AI blockchain' solutions to bored hedge fund managers.

Alibaba CTO Wang Jian warns that nearly 90% of current AI projects will fail within the next decade due to lack of innovation and overreliance on conventional methods. He calls the HYPE around AI chatbots, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, misleading. Wang emphasizes creativity as key for true AI progress and predicts China will become a global hub for AI innovation, driven by projects such as Alicloud and the Qwen model.
