Baidu World 2026 is scheduled for November 12, and how AI drives organizational evolution may become the focus of the conference.

On October 12, Baidu officially announced that Baidu World 2026 will be held on November 12 at the China National Convention Center Phase II in Beijing. The conference's official website has now opened ticket sales. This year's conference is themed "The Next Act: Intelligent Organizations." Ten years ago, Baidu founder Robin Li proposed at Baidu World 2016 that "the next act of the internet is artificial intelligence." A decade later, the conference theme "The Next Act: Intelligent Organizations" echoes that judgment, directing attention further toward AI-driven organizational restructuring. Since last year's Baidu World, Robin Li has spoken multiple times about the application of AI in organizations, from enterprises internalizing AI capabilities to organizations evolving themselves, continuously exploring the possibilities of AI driving organizational transformation. This year, with Baidu World once again taking "The Next Act" as its theme, how Robin Li will further explain the relationship between AI and organizational evolution has also become a focal point of outside attention.
