Prominent economist Cai Fang: "The 15th Five-Year Plan" is a key period in which AI and employment are deeply intertwined, and efforts should be made to promote human-machine complementarity.

Renowned economist Cai Fang stated that the next five years will be a critical period in China's economic structural transformation and deep intertwining of population trends. Employment policies should have a forward-looking layout, promoting artificial intelligence to become an "empowering tool" rather than a "replacement threat," and achieve "human-machine complementarity" rather than "human-machine competition." "We cannot simply say 'don't worry, there will be new positions in the future,' we must provide retraining, social security, and employment support for every worker who is replaced," emphasized Cai Fang.
