China's AI Adoption Puts Young Workers at Risk

China is using artificial intelligence in many more workplaces than before.

AI can help companies work faster and spend less money.

But machines may also do some jobs that people used to perform.

Fei Zhaojun, a programmer in Beijing, lost his job during a large workforce reduction.

His company was considering whether AI could handle some coding work.

Robots are also sorting packages, managing traffic, and delivering food.

This worries people who work in delivery and other affected industries.

Young people in China are already having more difficulty finding jobs than the broader workforce.

Experts say AI may help the economy grow, but workers will need new opportunities if automation replaces their jobs.
