AICoin AI: DeepSeek Warns of AI-Driven Job Displacement in Landmark Address
Chinese AI developer DeepSeek ended its 12-month public silence with a stark warning at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen. Senior researcher Chen Deli joined executives from five competing firms—collectively known as China's 'six little dragons' of AI—to present sobering predictions about the technology's societal impact.
While recognizing AI's immediate benefits, Deli forecast significant workforce disruptions within 5-10 years as automation achieves human-level competence. The warning carried extra weight given DeepSeek's recent breakthrough in developing cost-efficient models that outperformed Western counterparts.
The presentation struck a contrasting tone at the government-sponsored event, urging tech companies to proactively address what Deli called 'the coming employment crisis.' His assessment suggests China's AI leaders are confronting ethical dilemmas even as they advance technological innovation.
