Kai-Fu Lee's 'AI Native' hardcover ships: a roadmap for company-wide AI transformation
kaifulee · x · 2026-11-03
Kai-Fu Lee announced the hardcover release of AI Native: The Mandate to Transform Your Company (Crown Currency).
The book's core argument: AI is not another tech cycle but a fundamental shift in business economics — when human thinking, the most expensive thing companies buy, becomes nearly free, dabbling is the wrong answer. Lee lays out a practical roadmap to redesign organizations, unlock hidden knowledge, harness agentic AI, and redefine leadership.
One striking comparison from the book: two years ago the best AI agents could autonomously finish tasks taking a human expert 6 minutes; today top agents complete a full workday of the smartest humans in less than a coffee break, at a fraction of the cost. Available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, with audiobooks on Apple Books and Kobo.
