It is reported that Baidu World 2026 will be held on November 12 at the China National Convention Center Phase II in Beijing. Under the theme "The Next Act: Intelligent Organization," this year's conference will feature 1 main forum, 12 sub-forums, 30+ AI open classes, and a 6000-square-meter AI exhibition area.
For enterprises and developers advancing AI transformation, this conference serves both as an important window for observing the evolution of AI trends and grasping the latest directions of the technology stack, and as a source of systematic references ranging from product tools and practices to paths for organizational restructuring.
Highlight 1: Listen and Judge — Robin Li's Annual Sharing, Looking Ahead to Future AI Trends and the Direction of Organizational Evolution
At the conference's opening ceremony, Baidu founder Robin Li will lead off with a keynote speech, sharing his latest thinking on the development trends of AI's next stage.
At the 2025 Baidu World conference, Robin Li proposed internalizing AI capabilities so that AI becomes a native driving force for enterprise development and personal growth. At the Create conference in May this year, he further put forward an "evolution theory" for the AI era, sharing suggestions on how enterprise organizations can self-evolve. How Robin Li will assess AI development trends and explain the direction of intelligent organization evolution at this year's Baidu World will be a key highlight of the conference.
Highlight 2: Watch the Upgrades — Multiple Major Product Releases, Baidu's "Chip-Cloud-Model-Agent" Full Stack Upgrade
At this year's conference, Baidu will make multiple major product releases, showcasing the latest technological upgrades and application achievements of its "Chip-Cloud-Model-Agent" full-stack AI layout.
As AI accelerates its entry into enterprise production environments, enterprise demand for computing infrastructure, models, toolchains, and applications is shifting from single-point capabilities to systemic coordination. At the conference, Baidu will present its full-stack AI product layout for the agent era, as well as how AI can further enter organizations and industry scenarios. It is reported that Baidu may release enterprise-grade AI products to help enterprises reshape production relations with AI and achieve organizational evolution.
Highlight 3: Point the Path — Focusing on "Intelligent Organization," Providing Path References for Enterprises to Achieve AI Evolution
As enterprise AI application moves from tool-level efficiency gains toward process restructuring and organizational transformation, how to truly convert AI into organizational productivity is becoming a new industry proposition.
The conference's 12 sub-forums will focus on directions such as AI office work, organizational evolution, large-scale Agent deployment, and talent and organizational vitality, exploring topics such as how to make agents an organizational productivity force, how to upgrade "scattered AI" into organizational capability, and how enterprises can move from "using AI" further toward "becoming an AI enterprise," comprehensively decoding the path of organizational leap. Meanwhile, the conference will also combine vertical scenarios such as embodied intelligence, marketing, AI gaming, automotive, and government affairs to share paths for deploying intelligent organizations across different industries, providing more model-room references for enterprises exploring intelligent organization evolution.
Highlight 4: Learn and Advance — Unlocking the Upper Limits of Super Individual Capability, Turning Personal Decisions into Organizational Productivity
AI is constantly expanding the boundaries of individual capability. After the emergence of "super individuals," how to further consolidate, reuse, and scale individual capabilities into organizational capability is an important part of organizations applying AI.
The conference's sub-forums will also address topics such as the potential of super individuals, creativity, and organizational vitality, exploring the products, technologies, and collaboration methods for moving from individual intelligence to organizational intelligence. Over 30 AI open classes will unfold along three dimensions — AI WHY, AI HOW, and AI WOW — covering application cognition, operational methods, and innovative practices, helping developers, enterprise business teams, and workplace professionals master practical methods, advancing personal capabilities while promoting conversion into organizational productivity.
Highlight 5: Deep Experience — Both Cutting-Edge AI Thought Exchange and Seeing Firsthand How "Intelligent Organizations" Run Successfully
This year's conference will also address cutting-edge AI topics such as RSI and AI4S, covering directions such as AI-driven reconstruction of life sciences, scientific research innovation, and new drug development, presenting the latest progress in frontier AI exploration and industrial application.
In the 6000-square-meter AI exhibition area, Baidu will showcase on-site its full-stack AI capabilities of "chip, cloud, model, and agent." Attendees can not only experience up close a series of fun and useful AI products and applications, but also see through scenario-based demonstrations how AI integrates into workflows, directly experiencing human-agent collaboration and the operation of "intelligent organizations."
Since its founding in 2006, Baidu World has continuously showcased Baidu's AI technology and application progress. This year, the conference further focuses on "intelligent organizations," providing a comprehensive guide for enterprises and developers to explore the path from personal efficiency gains to organizational effectiveness through trend sharing, product launches, practice exchanges, and interactive experiences.
