A man poured a bottle of water over Baidu Inc Chief Executive Robin Li on Wednesday at the opening of an annual conference for the Chinese search giant.
Li was speaking of applications for artificial intelligence (AI) in a speech when the young man approached him, spilled the liquid over Li’s head, and walked away.
“What’s your problem?” Li shouted in English.
“There are many difficulties on the road to achieve AI, but it will not impact Baidu’s determination,” Li calmly said to the applause of the audience.
He then went on with the lecture.
