[Caixin] The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, and public discussions about job replacement are closely following. On March 24, Jiang Xiaojuan, former deputy secretary-general of the State Council, director of the National Data Expert Advisory Committee, and honorary president of the China Association of Industrial Economics, pointed out that the development of AI solely focused on saving labor must be approached with caution. She expressed this viewpoint at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2026.

AI is permeating various industries. Jiang Xiaojuan stated that the development of AI can be discussed from two dimensions: “rational” and “consensual.” She believes that whether the application of AI is rational should be assessed based on whether it can bring about economic growth, enhance the welfare of the public, and promote greater social equity. Technologies that are beneficial for improving quality and efficiency are considered rational technologies.
