Remember that Ma bid an emotional yet Rockstar-like farewell to Alibaba on 10 September.

Jack Ma's visions

In the video above, Jack Ma states that even after 60 years or 80 years down the line, people should remember the apartment which gave rise to innovation.

With Ma now having taken a bow from Alibaba – to focus on societal interests, it only becomes imminent to check out his popular life-quotes. His take on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is particularly interesting.
