Speaking at Baidu World 2026 on November 12, Baidu founder 李彦宏 predicted that jobs will not disappear in the future but will converge into roughly two categories: Builders, who create new things, and Sellers, who handle person-to-person communication and connection, building emotional resonance and trust. He said "organizational intelligence is the deepest moat for an enterprise" and outlined three principles for organizational evolution: breaking down job boundaries to unleash organizational vitality, accumulating tacit knowledge to build organizational intelligence, and designing closed-loop processes to drive organizational evolution. He noted that since last year's Baidu World, Baidu's daily active agents (DAA) grew from 5,000 to 37,000 per day, a more than sixfold increase, while effective completed agent tasks rose from an average of 84,000 per week to over 1 million per week, an 11-fold increase; Baidu has built 4,300 Workspaces and accumulated over 20,000 organizational Skills.

Baidu's 李彦宏: Future jobs won't disappear but will converge, roughly into two categories

IT之家 onsite news, November 12: At today's Baidu World Conference 2026 event, Baidu founder 李彦宏 delivered a speech predicting that future jobs won't disappear but will converge.

李彦宏 believes that in the future, jobs won't disappear but will converge, roughly into two categories:

  • One is Builder, responsible for creating new things;
  • The other is Seller, responsible for communication and connection between people, making the other party develop emotions toward you and build trust.

IT之家 learned at the conference site that 李彦宏 stated that "organizational intelligence is the deepest moat for an enterprise," and mentioned three new principles for organizational evolution:

  • Break down job boundaries and unleash organizational vitality
  • Accumulate tacit knowledge and build organizational intelligence
  • Design closed-loop processes and drive organizational evolution

李彦宏 said that at last year's Baidu World Conference, he proposed "internalizing AI capabilities and building a native AI organization." Over the past year, the number of daily active agents within Baidu, or DAA, grew from 5,000 per day to 37,000, an increase of more than 6 times; the number of valid tasks completed by agents grew from an average of 84,000 per week to more than 1 million per week, an increase of 11 times. Baidu has built 4,300 Workspaces, and the organization's accumulated Skills have exceeded 20,000.

李彦宏 said, "These good experiences and good methods accumulated by the organization can be reused by more colleagues and called upon by agents. Let one person's experience become the capability of the entire organization."
