Foreign media outlets have reported that Ant Group is secretly testing an AI-powered version of Alipay. The new version is said to radically change the original user interaction model, allowing users to enter a native AI interface with a single tap and enabling intelligent management of everything from services to personal finances. According to current reports, the launch date of the new Alipay version has not been determined. Ant Group declined to comment.
Additionally, domestic sources in China said that the AI version of Alipay may be launched in the near future. Tech Planet also reported that a very small number of beta invitation codes have been quietly distributed, marking the start of a public testing phase. If confirmed, Alipay could become the first AI super app with a user base exceeding one billion people. [IThome, in Chinese]
