ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE EVOLUTION OF JOB MARKET IN CHINA

Purpose: China is a country where artificial intelligence is being used on a mass scale.Demographic processes taking place in China have made production automation a requirement for Chinese industry.Artificial intelligence is increasingly replacing human resources in decision-making about production methods and techniques used in Chinese factories.Design/methodology/approach: Conducting a bibliometric review in online resources.Both in scientific publications and journalistic articles concerning the phenomena analyzed in the article.Due to the specific nature of the phenomenon analyzed, the bibliography is based on relatively recent publications.Research limitation/implications: This analysis is merely a contribution to broader research that seems necessary to understand the technological processes and related social implications currently taking place in China.This article serves as an introduction to further analyses that seem necessary to properly assess the use of artificial intelligence in the Chinese labor market.Practital implications: Artificial Intelligence should become one of many tools used in the labor market.The Chinese experience should be thoroughly analyzed in other countries, including Poland.Social implications: Artificial intelligence will be, or rather, already is, a revolution in the labor market.Like previous new technologies, it will lead to, at least temporarily, technological unemployment.Many professions will not withstand the competition from AI. Observing this process taking place in China may allow us to avoid the pitfalls inherent in the mass use of this new technology.Originality/value: Drawing on a wealth of sources, this article presents a phenomenon being studied on a large scale worldwide.China's experience, in particular, appears pioneering and original in its methods of implementing new technology.
