On November 12, Baidu founder Robin Li stated at the opening ceremony of Baidu World 2026 that the decade from 2016 to 2026 is the decade when artificial intelligence technology forms an independent technology stack, and the "Chip Cloud Model" four-layer architecture gradually takes shape during this period. He predicts that the next chapter of artificial intelligence is intelligent organizations, which differ from the current hierarchical system of AI-native organizational structures. "If artificial intelligence is the new electric power, then intelligent organizations are the new factories of the AI era, where true productivity occurs."Robin Li proposed the "Three Principles of Organizational Evolution": breaking down job boundaries to unleash organizational vitality; accumulating tacit knowledge to build organizational intelligence; designing closed-loop processes to promote organizational evolution. He believes that future jobs will not disappear but will converge, roughly divided into two categories: Builders responsible for creating new things, and Sellers responsible for interpersonal communication and trust-building.According to his disclosure, in the past year, the average daily active intelligent agents within Baidu grew from 5,000 to 37,000, with the number of effective tasks completed by intelligent agents per week increasing from 84,000 to over 1 million, and 4,300 Workspaces have been established, accumulating over 20,000 organizational Skills.

Phoenix Technology reported on November 9, Beijing time, citing MacRumors, that compared to the traditional version of Siri, Apple's revamped Siri AI has significantly improved in terms of intelligence and personalization capabilities, but it still falls short of proactive, always-on agents like OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman stated on Sunday that he learned Apple may enable Siri's features to resemble an intelligent agent as early as next year.Gurman mentioned that Dots, Muse, and Grok can continuously track targets, determine what to do next, and continue to advance established tasks without users needing to issue commands one by one. He stated that he was informed Apple ultimately hopes to develop in this direction and believes that Apple may enable Siri to become more like an intelligent agent as early as next year. Gurman also noted that in a closed-door meeting in recent weeks, Apple CEO John Ternus told software engineering chief Craig Federighi that Apple needs to accelerate the pace of its software roadmap and quickly move beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri.

On November 3, the National Development and Reform Commission held a series of press conferences on advancing the "14th Five-Year Plan," introducing information on cultivating and strengthening new driving forces. Wang Ruomeng, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation and High Technology Development of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated that there is a broad consensus in society on the coexistence of opportunities and risks in artificial intelligence. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, development and security will be coordinated, with security integrated throughout the research, application, and governance of artificial intelligence.Wang Ruomeng emphasized four key areas of work. First, improve the governance rule system, accelerate the promotion of foundational and comprehensive legislation for artificial intelligence, enhance legislation to protect common elements such as data, computing power, and algorithms, as well as to regulate key application scenarios, establish safety standards and ethical guidelines covering the entire lifecycle, and conduct periodic assessments of the implementation of these systems. Second, optimize the regulatory environment, reasonably set a transition period for regulatory policies, provide compliance guidance for applications across different industries, support the establishment of regulatory sandboxes for artificial intelligence in various fields, and improve the management mechanisms for application, testing, use, and exit.Third, clarify the collaborative governance responsibilities of government departments, industry organizations, enterprises, and the public, promote developers and operators to strengthen risk management awareness, timely disclose safety risks, and proactively report safety incidents and vulnerability information. Fourth, address the impact of artificial intelligence on society, pay attention to changes in employment structure, promote the inclusion of new professions such as model trainers and data annotators into the national occupational classification system, and strengthen monitoring and early warning of employment replacement risks; enhance traceability capabilities for issues such as algorithmic discrimination, deep forgery, and privacy breaches, while also strengthening guidance and intervention to prevent addiction and emotional dependence.
