Robin Li: The next phase of AI is intelligent organizations; proposes three principles for organizational evolution
Cointime News, November 12 — At the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026, Baidu founder Robin Li said that the next phase of artificial intelligence is intelligent organizations. Companies should redesign their organizations just as they would redesign a factory. He also introduced the “three principles of organizational evolution” for the first time. The first is to break down role boundaries, using tasks rather than positions as the organizational units of the intelligent era, with roles converging into two categories: Builder and Seller. The second is to capture tacit knowledge and build organizational intelligence, which he described as a company’s deepest competitive moat. The third is to design closed-loop processes, putting forward the formula “Measurable + Looping = Continuous Evolution.”
