Kai-Fu Lee publishes AI Native, a roadmap for building AI-native companies
kaifulee · x · 2026-10-26
Kai-Fu Lee's new hardcover AI Native: The Mandate to Transform Your Company is out. Key claims:
- AI is not another tech cycle but a fundamental shift in business economics — when human thinking becomes nearly free, companies must redesign organizations, unlock hidden knowledge, and harness agentic AI
- Two years ago the best agents matched 6 minutes of expert work; today top agents can finish a smart human's full workday in less than a coffee break, at a fraction of the cost
- Most firms approach AI transformation wrong; the answer is becoming AI Native, not dabbling
