November 12 — At the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026, Baidu founder Robin Li set out three major opportunities that intelligent organizations will embrace. First, asset-light operations: when a small team can direct a group of agents to complete a wide range of tasks, human resources cease to be the bottleneck on enterprise expansion, and iteration speeds up markedly. Companies can run multiple small experiments in parallel rather than staking everything on a single team, allowing them to operate with a lighter footprint and explore growth opportunities with greater flexibility. Second, building new moats: enterprises can distill the tacit know-how of their top performers into reusable digital assets, package them into agent modules, and achieve millisecond-level global deployment and round-the-clock operation. Third, creating and discovering new markets: organizations capable of self-evolution will form a closed loop of sensing change, rapid experimentation, continuous learning, and scaled replication. Innovation will shift from relying on a handful of "innovation departments" to concurrent exploration across the entire organization, making it easier to discover and create new markets and cultivate new growth curves.
