According to Beating monitoring, San Francisco tech journalist Jasmine Sun published a lengthy investigative report in The New York Times, concluding after interviewing over 50 researchers, economists, and policy experts that the consensus among Silicon Valley AI practitioners is that the economic outlook for most ordinary people is bleak, yet no one knows what to do about it. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts that by 2030, 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs may disappear, while Block CEO Jack Dorsey laid off nearly half of his employees in March, directly attributing this to AI agents. In a follow-up article, she documented the starkly different attitudes observed during her visit to China. When she relayed the anxiety of American recent graduates struggling to find jobs due to AI to Chinese youth, her 24-year-old cousin scoffed, stating that the issue in China is simply too many people competing for too few jobs. Juan Yan, author of 'Delivering in Beijing,' also mentioned that blue-collar colleagues are too busy making a living to consider the threat of AI replacement. This contrast has specific causes. Since the expansion of higher education in 1999, a large number of knowledge workers have been produced, but the available positions are far from sufficient, leading to significant youth unemployment even before the advent of AI. Labor costs are also low; a Zhihu user pointed out that replacing a job with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan with AI is not cost-effective, while jobs in the U.S. with annual salaries exceeding $100,000 are the real hotspots. The Chinese attitude towards AI is not one of fear but rather eagerness to learn; a WeChat analysis article succinctly summarizes that discussions about AI in China fall into two categories: one urging you to learn quickly and the other pushing you to get on board. Policy differences are also significant. AI policy researcher Matt Sheehan found that a labor arbitration case in Beijing ruled that firing an employee solely because AI could perform their job violated the Labor Contract Law. During her visit, she also noticed that parks and subway stations in China are staffed with far more cleaners and security personnel than necessary, effectively serving as a buffer for employment.
