At the 2025 GOTC Global Open-Source Technology Conference, Kai-Fu Lee, the CEO of 01.AI and Chairman of Innovation Works, offered his insights. He noted that the prevailing organizational structures within corporations are predominantly human-centric. However, he envisions a future where some, if not all, of these human-dominated corporate frameworks could be supplanted by AI Agents. Ultimately, he foresees a scenario where corporate organizational structures will be primarily composed of Agents, leading to a substantial decrease in the number of human staff. These remaining human employees, in turn, will assume more demanding and strategic roles.
Kai-Fu Lee further ventured that, in the years ahead, there might emerge unicorn companies established by individual entrepreneurs. These ventures will harness the power of AI Agents to construct valuable business ecosystems and potentially evolve into industry behemoths. This transformation is attributed to the Agents' unparalleled ability to operate ceaselessly, 24/7, without succumbing to emotional volatility or internal discord. Moreover, their inherent replicability and scalability make them ideal for driving business growth.
