He showed up as if nothing had happened: Jack Ma, probably China’s most famous entrepreneur, visited a school in his hometown of Hangzhou on Monday. Demonstratively relaxed, the 58-year-old – dressed all in white in a casual sweatshirt – had his picture taken on the sunny roof terrace of the Yungu school. “We need to use artificial intelligence to solve problems instead of being controlled by technology,” Ma said in a discussion with the teachers.
