IT Home reported on October 23 that the State Council Office today issued the “Opinions on Adapting to Artificial Intelligence Technology Development to Promote Employment-Friendly Development Methods”. Taking advantage of artificial intelligence to drive high-quality development, with the goal of adapting to technological progress and fostering high-quality full employment, and aiming at creating an employment-friendly development model, efforts should be made to enhance the positive effects of artificial intelligence in creating jobs, empowering traditional positions, improving employment quality, and stimulating entrepreneurial vitality. Effectively mitigating the impact of artificial intelligence on job replacement, and striving for inclusive development that balances technological progress, industrial upgrading, employment promotion, and improved living standards.
IT Home notes that the "Opinions" proposal was put forwardCreate new models of employment and entrepreneurship in the field of artificial intelligence. Make full use of the roles of government investment funds such as the National Venture Capital Guidance Fund and the National Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund, and support the innovative development of enterprises in the field of artificial intelligence through market-oriented methods. Build high-level open-source communities for artificial intelligence, implement a number of high-quality open-source projects, and create an effect of entrepreneurship driving employment. Implement the “technological achievements + entrepreneurship”, “industrial development + entrepreneurship”, “vocational skills + entrepreneurship”, and “people’s livelihood needs + entrepreneurship” models. Focus on entrepreneurial projects related to innovation in artificial intelligence applications and the transformation of technical results, and implement entrepreneurship support policies while providing entrepreneurship incubation services.
Accelerate the development of new occupations in the field of artificial intelligence. Focusing on the cultivation of artificial intelligence scenarios and large-scale applications, we will accelerate the creation of new occupations and the issuance of new occupation standards. The demand for new occupations such as digital management specialists, artificial intelligence engineering technicians, and artificial intelligence trainers will be increased. Local authorities are encouraged to add relevant professional evaluation systems according to the needs of the artificial intelligence industry development, and to promptly conduct the assessment of professional skill levels related to artificial intelligence.
Uncover the employment potential of artificial intelligence in traditional fields. Leverage the role of artificial intelligence in transforming and upgrading traditional industries. Guide the adoption of human-machine collaboration models in the intelligent development of industrial factors and the digital transformation and upgrading of agriculture. Identify digital and intelligent job opportunities in traditional sectors. Accelerate the development of new service models driven by artificial intelligence. Promote the specialization and expansion towards higher value chains in productive services across different fields. Facilitate the high-quality, diverse, and convenient development of life services. Expand new consumption scenarios such as experience-based and personalized consumption, and increase the employment capacity of the service industry.
Mitigate the impact of artificial intelligence applications on job replacement. Leverage the role of artificial intelligence in improving the employment environment, enhancing occupational safety, and improving work efficiency. Prioritize its application in positions where labor is scarce and environments are high-risk. Carefully control the scope, intensity, and pace of artificial intelligence applications in labor-intensive industries, and minimize the impact on workers as much as possible. Encourage enterprises to explore the establishment of a unemployment buffer period system, and inform affected workers in advance during the large-scale application of artificial intelligence, providing support for transition and new employment opportunities.
Strengthen research on the employment impact of artificial intelligence applications. Conduct special surveys on the employment impact of artificial intelligence applications, and continuously track trends such as the penetration of artificial intelligence applications, job creation and substitution, and changes in skill demands. Relying on existing resources like universities and research institutions, establish a number of artificial intelligence employment research centers. Implement scientific research projects such as the National Social Science Fund effectively, and conduct forward-looking studies on the impact of artificial intelligence technology development on employment and income distribution.
