In China, AI is Already Gaining Ground in Companies and Leaving Workers Behind

Jornal de Negócios12 September 2026 at 10:40

In China, artificial intelligence is already replacing workers in several companies, especially in creative industries. According to the current trend, projects that previously required ten people can now be carried out by only two or three, showing the significant impact of technology on the labor market.

A study conducted by ShanghaiTech University analyzed 40.01 million job postings published in China between January and April. The results revealed that 33.2% of these postings involved tasks highly exposed to artificial intelligence.

This reality is leaving many workers behind, as companies increasingly adopt AI solutions to optimize processes and reduce labor costs.

Why this matters

Readers in China directly face the risk of technological replacement, especially in creative sectors. The study quantifies for the first time the scale of the problem, showing that one third of job vacancies in the country are already exposed to AI, which can serve as an indicator for workers and policymakers about the urgency of professional requalification. This trend follows the accelerated advancement of generative AI in the country.

Award-winning mathematicians are concerned about the impact of artificial intelligence on their discipline

Mathematicians awarded the Fields Medal expressed concern about the growing impact of artificial intelligence on mathematics as a discipline and profession. In public statements, these prestigious mathematicians warned that the field will need to adapt to these changes in various ways, just days after OpenAI announced the resolution of a complex mathematical problem through AI systems. The debate arises at a time when the scientific community questions the future of mathematical work in the face of rapid advances in technology.

Elite of mathematicians warn about risks of artificial intelligence in science

Twenty-five medalists with the Fields Medal, the prestigious award equivalent to the Nobel Prize in Mathematics, signed an open letter warning about a possible "destructive effect" of artificial intelligence in mathematical research. The warning comes days after OpenAI announced that one of its AI models solved a century-old mathematical equation in less than four days — the Navier-Stokes equation, one of the seven "Millennium Problems" of the Clay Mathematics Institute. Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster also questioned the similarities between his own work and the AI model's results. The mathematicians acknowledge that AI "offers potential to strengthen and accelerate" the discipline, but argue that it will be "the decisions of humans who control this technology" that determine whether the impact will be beneficial or destructive, calling on major AI companies to "urgently respond" to these questions.
