Biography

CEO of Baidu. Launched Ernie Bot. Pioneer of China's AI industry. Leading autonomous driving (Apollo).

💡 My Take

Li represents the parallel AI universe developing in China. Baidu's ERNIE models and Apollo autonomous driving platform are massive — yet largely invisible to Western audiences. Understanding China's AI ecosystem through Li's work is critical for anyone thinking about AI geopolitics.
