Baidu Teases Robin Li Keynote on the Rise of Intelligent Organizations
A promotional poster for Baidu World 2026 suggests Robin Li will use his opening keynote to examine how AI could reshape companies. The questions highlighted by Baidu point toward possible principles, opportunities and practical guidance for organizational change.
Baidu released a promotional poster for Baidu World 2026 on Nov. 4, offering early clues about founder Robin Li’s planned keynote at the opening ceremony on Nov. 12. The event carries the theme “The Next Act: Intelligent Organizations,” placing organizational change at the center of its AI discussion.
The poster raises three questions: what constitutes a new factory in the AI era, which three principles govern organizational evolution, and what three major opportunities intelligent organizations will encounter. These prompts indicate that Li may use the speech to explore how intelligent organizations develop and how businesses should approach AI transformation, although Baidu has not detailed the keynote’s contents.
The framing also echoes Li’s earlier remarks. At Baidu World 2016, he described AI as the internet’s next act. Ten years later, the same phrase returns with a more specific focus on organizations rather than the broader technology landscape.
Over the past year, Li has repeatedly addressed AI’s organizational implications. At Baidu World 2025, he urged companies to internalize AI capabilities so the technology could become a native force in business development and personal growth. At the Create conference in May, he discussed an “evolution theory” for the AI era, including super-organizations built from mixed teams of people and agents. The poster suggests his thinking may now move further from individual productivity toward organizational self-evolution and practical transformation.
