【Caixin Net】 Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, and public discussions about job displacement keep pace. On March 24, Jiang Xiaojuan, former vice secretary-general of the State Council and chair of the National Data Expert Advisory Committee, as well as honorary chair of the China Industrial Economics Society, said that when it comes to AI that simply saves on labor, it must be developed with caution. She made the remarks at the 2026 annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia.

AI is penetrating every industry. Jiang Xiaojuan said that AI development can be discussed across two dimensions: “reasonable” and “acceptable.” She believes that whether an AI application is reasonable should be assessed by whether it can drive economic growth, improve the well-being of ordinary people, and promote greater social fairness. Technology that is beneficial for improving quality and efficiency is reasonable technology.
