SHANGHAI New Alibaba Group CEO Eddie Wu has told staff the tech giant's two main strategic focuses going forward will be "user first" and "AI-driven", according to an internal letter reviewed by Reuters.

Wu, who sent the letter on only his third day in the top job, also said Alibaba would focus on promoting those born after 1985 and after 1990 to form the core of its business management teams within the next four years and that the Group would continue to deepen its reorganisation efforts and strengthen independent decision-making.
