Baidu’s CEO Robin Li had a bottle of water poured over him during Baidu’s AI speech

Baidu Create AI Developer Conference was in the spotlight – not because of its intelligent success but because an accident happened to Robin Li – the CEO of Baidu was doused by a bottle of water by an interloper when giving a speech on the stage. After a few moments of shocked silence Robin responded uneasily in English “what’s your problem?”, and continued his inspiring talk by stating that on the road to artificial intelligence (AI) nobody is able to predict what will happen, “but it will not impact Baidu’s determination”, which was widely interpreted as a relief to both the embarrassing incident and the dismal outlook confronted by Baidu’s AI approach.
