Recently, news about the significant changes in ByteDance's AI team has been widely circulated on the Internet. In response to this report, Douyin Vice President Li Liang posted a formal response through Weibo today, clarifying the relevant rumors.
Li Liang pointed out that there are many false information in an article titled "Byte AI Team Changes the Array". The statements mentioned in the article that Yang Zhenyuan, the vice president of technology, is about to retire and Feng Jiashi will leave his job and start a business are all caused by false sources of information. In addition, the report of Zhang Yiming visiting Wandoujia founder Wang Junyu and Shanghai Mosu Space Startup is also inconsistent with the facts.
Li Liang said that he hopes that through this public explanation, this false information can be corrected and avoid misleading colleagues, customers and partners. He emphasized that ByteDance's investment and development plans in the field of artificial intelligence have always been based on the company's strategic planning and market demand, and there is no so-called "big change array".
Li Liang's clarification statement this time undoubtedly put an end to the recent rumor surrounding ByteDance's AI team. In the future, ByteDance's development trend in the field of artificial intelligence will continue to attract widespread attention from the industry.
