Kai-Fu Lee: AI Is Moving from Giving Answers to Doing Tasks, But It Can't Take Responsibility

Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of 01.AI, said at the 26th CIFIT that AI is moving from giving answers to doing tasks, coordinating workflows, and helping with decisions. Its impact on companies will reach into organization and management systems.

Lee believes a real AI transformation needs top management to drive it, break down information silos, reallocate resources, and apply AI to a company's most important business and strategy problems.

He used agent applications in management and investment analysis as examples, saying AI can help managers spot risks, organize evidence, and improve decision quality. But the final judgment and responsibility still rest with people. Lee stressed that AI cannot take responsibility.
