Artificial intelligence and big data have become one of the most widely discussed – and debated – topics of our time. In China, the internet industry has become increasingly dominated by the triumvirate of BAT: Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent, whose broad reach has come to dominate nearly every aspect of the internet ecosystem. This summer, Mr. Robin Li, Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Baidu, China’s leading search company, will share his views on such topics at the Cambridge CSSA Celebrity Forum, jointly hosted by Chinese Student & Scholar Association and Cambridge Chinese Community Centre.
Mr. Li holds degrees in information management and computer science from Peking University and the State University of New York at Buffalo, respectively. He co-founded Baidu in 2000 and has been acting CEO of Baidu since 2004. Baidu has been listed on NASDAQ stock exchange since 2005. Over the next decade, Mr. Li has led Baidu to be one of the largest and most successful internet companies in China, by extending its technology capabilities derived from an established search service into the cutting-edge areas including artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, and more.
We warmly welcome Mr. Li to share his story of Baidu’s founding and development at Cambridge University. Furthermore, for those who are interested in career opportunities at Baidu, he will also discuss Baidu’s strategy and plans for fostering and nurturing talent.
