China plans mandatory risk checks to limit AI-related job losses

China wants to make risk assessments mandatory as it responds to possible job losses linked to artificial intelligence.

The plan aims to cushion workers from AI-related job losses.

It concerns how China manages AI's effects on employment.

The available information does not say who would have to carry out the assessments.

It also gives no timetable for the proposed requirement.
