During a roundtable discussion at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, He Yi shared a story about how Binance once discovered that an employee was "secretly doing multiple jobs" after using AI to improve development efficiency, and that employee was eventually fired.

He Yi stated that AI is not simply about replacing humans, but about making the strong even stronger. The changes brought about by AI should not be understood merely as "reducing costs and increasing efficiency." She is more concerned with how to leverage AI to enhance the overall productivity and innovation capabilities of an organization, and to support the platform's evolution to a larger scale.

She revealed that Binance has internally raised its target for users from "1 billion" to "3 billion" this year, because the next phase of Binance should not just be an exchange, but a financial infrastructure for the global public.
