BEIJING, Sept. 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888), a leading AI company with
strong Internet foundation, is set to host its annual flagship
technology conference, Baidu World, at Beijing Shougang Park
on October 17th. This year, the event
marks a thrilling return to an offline format after four years,
featuring a wealth of real-world demos and experiences.
After revealing the company's ambitious plan to reconstruct all
its products with AI-native thinking, Baidu World 2023 will revolve
around the theme "Prompt the World." The company will unveil
multiple AI-native applications, present the latest advances in
foundation models, and offer valuable insights on seizing new
opportunities through AI-native thinking in collaboration with
enterprises, users, and partners.
The event will begin with a keynote speech from Robin Li, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of
Baidu, presenting hands-on lessons on creating AI-native
applications, reflecting his belief that all future applications
will be built upon foundation models to usher in a wave of
revolutionary AI-native innovations. Li envisions in the next
decade, half of all jobs worldwide will be centered around "prompt
engineering".
Robin Li also believes that
AI-native applications should meet three essential criteria,
including natural language interaction and full utilization of core
AI capabilities like comprehension, generation, reasoning, and
memory while possessing no more than two levels of menu structures
for user interface. AI-native applications should be able to solve
problems that were previously unsolvable or not effectively
addressed.
Along with Robin Li, four other
senior Baidu executives will take the stage at the main forum to
share the latest developments in foundation models, AI-native
applications, generative AI ecosystems, and other areas. The event
will also feature eight frontier technology sub-forums catering to
enterprises, developers, partners, investors, and more. Attendees
can also look forward to an AI interactive experience area,
providing a comprehensive showcase of Baidu's latest
achievements.
