Chinese Courts Rule Companies Cannot Fire Workers Simply to Replace Them With AI - Judges classify AI adoption as a controllable business strategy rather than an unavoidable disruption, shielding employees from automation-driven layoffs
How is it not true? Just look at translators: during the past few years, most of their jobs just disappeared because AI can do their job just slightly worse than humans but costs much less.

Look at Klarna, they had brilliant idea to fire support people, because AI can replace them, then after huge lose in customers, they now say “it needs to be balanced”
Past few years? No. MT has existed for well over 20 years now. Also, AI still struggles with interpretation, which is the hard part of translating texts and speech.
Regardless, I said “most” jobs, not all jobs. AI is still by and large the excuse, not the motivation, for layoffs.
