Honor CEO Li Jian: The Future AI Entry Point Is Born at the Moment of User Intent
Honor CEO Li Jian proposed at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference that the future AI entry point is born at the moment a user generates intent, and that business logic is shifting from the attention economy, which monetizes traffic, to the intent economy, which monetizes outcomes. He believes the industry needs to cross three thresholds: intelligence scarcity, context scarcity, and trust scarcity, and emphasized that capability determines how fast AI can go, while trust determines how far AI can go.

Honor CEO James Li: The future AI entry point is born at the moment of user intent Phoenix Tech Download the app for exclusive early access November 6, 2026, 14:58:24 From Beijing
Phoenix Tech News (Author/Yunfei) On November 6, at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference, Honor CEO James Li delivered a keynote speech, sharing his views on industrial evolution in the intelligent economy era. He stated that the battle over AI entry points is not a zero-sum game over existing stock, and that the industry should be guided by winning user trust, pursue open collaboration, and return entry-point sovereignty to users.
Li believes that the deep integration of computing power, large models, and embodied intelligence is reshaping the underlying logic of the industry, but current human-computer interaction still mostly remains at the stage of "people seeking services." He proposed that in the intelligent economy era, "intent delegation" has become the new scarcity, and the business logic is shifting from the attention economy that monetizes traffic to the intent economy that monetizes outcomes: "The future entry point is born at the moment a user generates intent."
He also pointed out that from intent generation to result delivery, the industry must cross three thresholds: intelligence scarcity (whether AI can actually get things done), context scarcity (whether AI can understand a user's identity, scenario, and needs), and trust scarcity (whether AI is worthy of being entrusted). "Capability determines how fast AI can go; trust determines how far AI can go."
