We learned from several independent sources that ByteDance recently set up a new first-level department — AI Data and Security. Parallel to Seed, Flow, Douyin and other departments, the person in charge is Wang Yinglei. Following the establishment of the two first-level AI divisions Seed and Flow at the end of 2023, Byte established another first-level division around the AI business. The person in charge, Wang Yinglei, was previously responsible for the TikTok platform and head of TikTok live streaming. “The live streaming business that Wang Yinglei is responsible for was once one of TikTok's main sources of revenue, and has had great success within Byte.” A person close to Byte said. We have sought evidence from Byte regarding the above message. As of publication, there has been no response.
