How Do AI Developments Affect Labour Force Employment?
The development of artificial intelligence has led to the evolution of labour practices,which has had a triple impact on the scale of employment in terms of substitution,absorption,and inter-temporal effects,resulting in the polarization of the employment structure and giving employment practices an intelligent,diversified,and flexible character.With the deep integration of AI and the real economy,"human-machine collaboration"will become the new normal of human labour and employment in the future.In order to actively respond to the challenges brought by the development of AI to the employment of the workforce in the short term,we should focus on three aspects:Firstly,economic benefits and technological choices,grasping the homogeneity of emerging technology,expanding the reproduction and growth of emerging industries,and strengthening the employment absorption effect of AI.Secondly,skills training and labour transformation,deepening the degree of human-machine synergy,achieving mutual empowerment between humans and machines,and weakening the substitution effect of employment.Thirdly,macro-guidance and policy regulation,popularizing the education of AI technology,implementing measures to cushion the impact of technological disruptions,and downplaying the inter-periodic effect of AI,striving to realize the benign economic ecosystem of technological advancement,economic benefit growth,and labour employment stability.
