Artificial Intelligence Gains Ground in Chinese Companies and Leaves Workers Behind

Sábado12 September 2026 at 11:16

Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly in Chinese companies, causing significant impact on the country's labor market. The technology has been replacing functions previously performed by human workers in various sectors.

In creative industries, the impact is particularly noticeable. Projects that previously required the collaboration of ten professionals can now be carried out by just two or three people, with the help of artificial intelligence tools.

This transformation is leaving many workers behind, as companies adopt the technology to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. Many professionals are losing their jobs or seeing their roles become obsolete.

Why this matters

Workers in creative industries in China face direct risk of replacement by AI tools, which could mean mass job losses. Companies seeking cost reduction are incentivized to automate processes, fundamentally changing the hiring structure. This scenario reflects a global trend that could spread to other markets, affecting professionals worldwide.

⛽Diesel rises again without hitting record highs, but petrol drops next week

Next Monday, diesel will rise by two cents per liter in Portugal, while gasoline drops by four cents, according to ANAREC, taking into account the ISP discounts already announced by the Government. Prices should be around 2.132 euros per liter of diesel and 2.06 euros per liter of simple 95 gasoline, but still not hitting the maximum levels recorded in April. Since the attack on Iran, diesel has accumulated a rise of 49.4 cents and gasoline of 35 cents. The Executive increased the ISP discount on both fuels, in a mechanism that returns the VAT increase through tax reduction. Brent oil fell 2.81% on Friday to 104.61 dollars per barrel, and a pipeline in Saudi Arabia was closed preventively after drone attacks.
