Gasgoo Munich-On May 13, Gasgoo reported on Luo Yonghao's latest interview. Li Auto CEO Li Xiang advised companies to think twice before cutting staff. He argued that talent benchmarks are shifting in the AI era. Relying on old standards risks losing essential talent.
Li Xiang pledged that Li Auto will not initiate layoffs.
As the company integrates AI upgrades, the technology will act as a natural filter. The process involves natural selection. Employees who doubt their abilities will step away. Those who lose faith in the company will also move on.

Li Xiang discussed the impact of AI on individual capability. He drew a clear distinction. Ordinary users can leverage AI tools to enhance skills. However, only professionals can fully utilize the technology. "Those who master AI will reach unprecedented heights," he said.
Li Xiang dismissed the idea that AI will create "one-person companies." He initially believed AI assistance could run a firm. Testing proved this theory wrong. Those validating the model often only post updates. They fail to build a functional production environment. Establishing such an environment is difficult, he noted.
