Yi Jie reveals: Binance employee doubled coding efficiency with AI, secretly worked multiple jobs and got fired! Yi Jie (@heyibinance) shared an interesting story during the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival roundtable today. Binance once discovered an employee who used AI to boost development efficiency and then “secretly worked multiple jobs.” That employee was eventually fired. Yi Jie emphasized that AI isn’t simply about replacing humans—it’s about empowering the strong to become stronger. The changes brought by AI shouldn’t just be understood as “cost reduction and efficiency improvement.” What she’s more focused on is how to leverage AI to enhance the overall output and innovation capabilities of the organization, and support the platform’s evolution toward a larger scale. She revealed that Binance has internally raised its target this year from “1 billion users” to “3 billion users,” because the next phase of Binance shouldn’t just be a trading platform—it should be a global financial infrastructure for the masses. @binance @binancezh
