Recently, the “Women’s Decision-Making in the AI Era: From Opportunity Identification to Life Algorithms” live salon was successfully held at Jianhua Building, Tsinghua University. The event was jointly organized by the China Financial Research Center of Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management and XW Bank.

Xiao Yilin, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of LE Robotics, was invited to attend and joined female representatives from academia, investment, and industry for in-depth discussions on women’s decision-making, industrial transformation, and the reshaping of human value in the AI era.

The salon was live-streamed throughout on XW Bank’s Weibo and Video Channel platforms, achieving strong communication reach. The event was also covered by multiple authoritative media outlets, including JRJ.com, Economic Net, Sichuan News Network, First Screen News, Sina Finance, and China Finance.

The session was moderated by Lu Yao, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Schwarzman College, Tsinghua University, Professor at the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University, and Director of the China Financial Research Center at Tsinghua SEM.

Xiao Yilin joined fellow speakers including Hu Jia, Chair Professor at Tsinghua SEM; Liu Bo, General Manager and Managing Partner of TusStar Venture Capital; and Cui Dongxu, Founder and CEO of Zhicai Huichuang Technology Co., Ltd. The panel engaged in in-depth discussions across multiple dimensions, including the impact of AI on workplace structures, the reshaping of female leadership, and choices in personal development paths. Drawing on firsthand experience in entrepreneurship, investment, and organizational management, the speakers outlined a clear perspective on “women’s decision-making” in the AI era.

As a representative from the industrial embodied intelligence sector, Xiao Yilin shared her perspectives from the standpoint of enterprise operations and industrial practice, discussing how AI-driven technological transformation is reshaping ways of working, organizational management, and women’s development.

She noted that the emergence of AI is freeing women from a large amount of repetitive and routine tasks, enabling them to focus more on core responsibilities such as decision-making and accountability. In her view, AI is not a substitute for human decision-making, but rather a “strategist” and “assistant” that provides analysis, recommendations, and solutions. “AI can offer suggestions, but it cannot take responsibility on your behalf.” Looking ahead, she emphasized that the core capabilities of humans in business and management will lie in two aspects: determining whether something is worth pursuing, and deciding how to execute it while taking ultimate responsibility for the outcome.

Xiao further pointed out that in practical enterprise operations, AI can significantly reduce repetitive tasks within teams, allowing managers to devote more time to strategic thinking and organizational decision-making. However, it is always human managers who determine the direction of enterprise development and bear responsibility for the results. She also highlighted that AI is profoundly reshaping social structures and industrial paradigms. AI-driven embodied intelligent robots are continuously expanding into new application scenarios, effectively addressing real-world production challenges. For women, this transformation also represents significant opportunities. Women should not only actively participate in technological change, but also strive to move into the core of organizations and industries, engaging in key decision-making and shaping strategic directions, thereby gaining broader space for development in both professional and social contexts.

This philosophy is deeply embedded in the corporate culture of LE Robotics. In celebration of International Women’s Day, the company organized a series of internal cultural activities to honor the strength and contributions of its female employees, providing platforms for growth and recognition, and enabling “her power” to continue shining in the company’s development.

During the salon, participating speakers reached a shared consensus that competition in the AI era is fundamentally about the reshaping of cognitive frameworks and decision-making approaches. AI will not dilute women’s value; instead, it will elevate qualities such as empathy, resilience, and intuitive thinking into scarce competitive advantages. It was emphasized that humans should actively embrace and harness AI, combining women’s strengths in empathy, communication, and holistic judgment with AI’s data-driven analytical capabilities—this integration represents a key pathway to breaking through traditional structural constraints.

LE Robotics’ invitation to the event not only demonstrated the company’s frontline industrial perspective in applying AI within the field of embodied intelligent welding and cutting, but also reflected its deep consideration of the integration between technological advancement and human values. Looking ahead, the company will continue to leverage AI technologies to empower the upgrading of industrial intelligent manufacturing, accelerate the deployment of embodied intelligent robots across a broader range of industrial scenarios, and remain committed to supporting the development of women in the technology sector—enabling greater value creation through female contributions in technological innovation and industrial transformation.
