Ant Group AI unit Robbyant seeks $222m funding

蚂蚁集团旗下AI部门Robbyant正寻求2.22亿美元融资，估值水涨船高。这笔钱将用于加速AI研发和产品落地，背后是蚂蚁在AI赛道的重磅加码。通俗地说，Robbyant就是蚂蚁集团专门搞人工智能的“特工队”，这次相亲找投资人，目标是拿到2.22亿美元的“弹药”，用来研发更聪明的AI，比如能帮你理财、办业务更顺溜的数字助手。过去这些技术可能要用户自己去适应，现在AI要学会自己理解需求，服务更贴心。对普通人来说，这笔融资若到位，最直观的影响是支付宝这类App里的AI服务会越来越智能——客服更懂你，理财建议更精准，办事效率也更高。虽然现在很多人还没感觉到变化，但大公司砸重金抢滩AI，未来一年里，我们用到的金融、生活服务可能会悄悄“进化”一轮。这场资本和技术赛跑，最终受益的还是普通用户。
