北京時間7月3號11時15分，百度發微博，話「今日AI開發者大會上，有人為AI『沖淡水』。我哋想講，AI前進嘅道路上會有各種各樣想像唔到嘅事情發生，但我哋前行嘅決心唔會改變。」當日22時34分，百度發咗篇長微博聲明，話「激到好嬲，並強烈譴責搞事者嘅行為」。百度亦都否認呢單嘢係自導自演嘅可能性。
At 11:15 on July 3, Beijing time, Baidu posted on Weibo, "At today's AI developer conference, someone 'flushed fresh water' for AI. We would like to say that there will be all kinds of unimaginable things happening on the road of AI, but our determination to move forward will not change. At 22:34 on the same day, Baidu issued this long Weibo statement, saying that it was "very angry and strongly condemns the behavior of the troublemaker". Baidu also denied the possibility that this thing was self-directed and self-acted.
