阿里巴巴集团在周三宣布将投资100亿元人民币（约14亿美元）于人工智能和物联网的智能音箱系统。
发生了什么
阿里巴巴的天猫精灵智能音箱将成为中国电子商务巨头本次新投资的中心。据路透社报道，天猫精灵智能音箱于2017年推出，是亚马逊公司的Echo音箱的同类产品。
阿里投资的14亿美元自己将用于为天猫精灵智能音箱增加更多内容，以及用于技术研发。
为何这项投资重要
阿里巴巴在去年发货1680万台智能音箱，其竞争对手百度则发货了1730万台智能音箱。据路透社报道，亚马逊的Echo未在中国出售。
阿里巴巴的智能音箱可播放音乐、提供天气信息并与用户互动。该系列的智能音箱拥有多款型号。阿里在周三发布的最新型号有着10英寸的屏幕，售价为77.28美元。
阿里的人工智能实验室在2019年宣布其智能语音助手阿里精灵（天猫精灵音箱的语音程序）已经被整合到逾660个物联网平台中。阿里的虚拟语音助手可以在近2亿台设备上找到。
股价走势
阿里巴巴的股价在周二盘后交易时段中上涨0.25%至每股217.75美元。收盘时上涨0.89%至每股217.20美元。
