Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 23 — According to Fortune, Alibaba International President Zhang Kuo wrote that the rapid development of AI is breaking down “execution barriers,” enabling individual entrepreneurs to operate like multinational companies. The main points of the article include:

AI agents can automatically handle complex processes such as procurement, compliance, and cross-border payments, freeing entrepreneurs from tedious tasks;
The “agent-to-agent (A2A)” interaction model between buyer and seller AI systems can reduce supplier negotiations from weeks to minutes;
AI tools (like Accio Work) are replacing traditional backend functions, allowing solo entrepreneurs to run global businesses without hiring a team;

As the barriers to execution lower, the core competitive advantage of leadership will shift from technical skills to judgment, taste, and strategic vision.

Zhang Kuo believes that “unicorn solo entrepreneurs” are no longer just a theoretical concept but are becoming a real business model.
