Former ByteDance executive takes helm at Baidu-backed Shengshu amid generative AI boom
Luo Yihang, formerly a ByteDance executive, has been appointed CEO of Shengshu AI, a leading Chinese AI video start-up. This move highlights the intense competition for talent within China's rapidly growing AI industry. Luo will be responsible for overseeing R&D, product management, commercialization, and team management at Shengshu.
Shengshu AI, founded in early 2023, gained recognition with Vidu, a video-generation model seen as a rival to OpenAI's Sora. The company has strong ties to Tsinghua University, with key members of its leadership team, including president Tang Jiayu (who will now focus on strategic development, branding, and other core functions), having graduated from the institution. This appointment signals Shengshu's ambition to further strengthen its position in the competitive AI video generation market.
