[Tencent Management Reiterates AI Stance: Half to Improve Existing Core Businesses, the Other Half to Explore AI Native; "50% Layoffs" False] According to Jinse Finance, on November 12th, The Paper reported that during Tencent's 28th anniversary online livestream, Tencent management discussed organizational changes for the AI era, stating that this transformation differs from previous passive cost reduction and efficiency improvement efforts, representing proactive efficiency enhancement. Internally, 50% of staff will focus on existing core businesses and improve efficiency through AI, while the other 50% will explore AI-native businesses and expand new opportunities. They also clarified that the rumor of "Tencent laying off 50% of its staff" is false, a misinterpretation of internal resource reallocation. Financial reports show that Tencent's R&D expenditure in the second quarter reached 27.28 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35%, with a significant increase in capital expenditure. Its AI office intelligence agent, WorkBuddy, performed exceptionally well, with 32.353 million active users in September, ranking first in the office agent sector, and 60% of the top 100 enterprises in China have already adopted it.
