XPeng CEO on Embracing the AI Era: Leaders Must Understand AI, Hire Youth, and Iterate Quickly

Deep News12-08 14:02

At the 2025 China Entrepreneurs Influence Summit, XPeng Inc. (NYSE: XPEV) Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng shared insights on adapting to the AI-driven era. He noted that while businesses previously relied on "people + tools," the current model is "people + servers," and the future will shift to "people + AI Agents." With productivity increasingly driven by AI Agents and significant shifts in production relations, how should companies embrace this transformation?

After several years of trial and error, He Xiaopeng outlined three key recommendations: 1. **CEOs must deeply understand AI**—without this knowledge, progress is difficult. 2. **Hire more young talent**, as they naturally adapt to change. 3. **Adopt an iterative, fast-paced approach**—while AI’s potential is undeniable, its implementation varies across industries, requiring companies to rapidly refine strategies based on their specific needs.

He emphasized that while AI adoption is inevitable, businesses must remain agile to navigate its gradual integration.
