Li Yanhong says AI's next act is the 'intelligent organization,' not just better models

At Baidu World, Robin Li argued the productivity paradox—over $250B in enterprise AI spending in 2025 yet only 25% of companies see real transformation—stems from swapping in an AI 'motor' without redesigning the 'factory.' His answer: the intelligent organization.
- Shift from role-centric org charts to task-centric dynamic networks, where one person plus an agent fleet becomes a productivity unit
- Three principles: dissolve role boundaries, institutionalize tacit knowledge via Skills/Workspaces, and evolve continuously via 'measurable + looping'
- Baidu internal results: daily active agents up 6x to 37,000; weekly completed agent tasks up 11x to over 1M; one team's per-capita throughput up 125.3%
- New launches: Baidu Buddie (personal/enterprise), Kuku Enterprise (600K+ orgs in 3 months), and 'Token Exchange' marketplace already exceeding 700B tokens called daily
