On November 12, at the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026, Baidu founder Robin Li stated that the decade from 2016 to 2026 has seen artificial intelligence form an independent technology stack, with a four-layer architecture of "chips, cloud, models, and agents" gradually taking shape during this period. He pointed out that if energy is the upstream of AI technology, then organizational capability is its downstream — specifically, an AI-native organizational system distinct from today's bureaucratic hierarchies, which he calls the "intelligent organization." Robin Li concluded that the next act of artificial intelligence is the intelligent organization, and offered an analogy: "If artificial intelligence is the new electricity, the intelligent organization is the new factory of the AI era — the place where productivity truly happens. Only when organizational methods matching AI's new capabilities are put in place will productivity rise substantially and the economy grow faster."
