About
A sweeping roadmap for business leaders in the AI age, when every organization must rethink how it operates, competes, and creates value—from AI legend and New York Times bestselling author of AI Superpowers and AI 2041 Kai-Fu Lee
Two years ago, the best AI agents could autonomously complete tasks that took a human expert roughly six minutes to complete. Today, top AI agents across nearly all white-collar industries can complete the workday of the smartest humans in less time than a coffee break—at a fraction of the cost.
What happens when the most expensive thing that companies buy—human thinking—becomes practically free?
This is the single most consequential question facing business leaders for a generation, and many are struggling with how to answer it. AI is not simply another technology cycle but a fundamental transformation in the economics of business. The answer is not to dabble. It is to become AI Native.
Kai-Fu Lee has spent the past four decades pioneering AI in business from nearly every vantage point: as a researcher, senior executive at Apple, Microsoft, and Google, and now a CEO himself. Few thinkers can match his combination of technical expertise and business acumen.
In AI Native, he draws from this deep well of experience to offer a radical new roadmap for company leaders to become AI Native. With punchy, insightful guidance, Lee dispels the lies CEOs are being told about AI, offers a clear roadmap for how to re-structure teams with powerful agentic AI at the center of the enterprise, and reveals the power and potential of using AI to tap into the hidden trove of knowledge inside companies. Those that get it right will flourish in the AI age.
AI Native is the only book leaders need to navigate the defining challenge of our time.
