Abstract

With the rapid development of the new generation of information technology, artificial intelligence has had a profound impact on the labor and employment market, which has attracted the attention to its structural change. With the background of artificial intelligence, combined with the characteristics of the four technological changes of artificial intelligence, this paper deeply analyzes the influence mechanism of artificial intelligence on employment. Through the 2017-2021 Chinese provinces panel data empirical analysis, the study found: artificial intelligence significantly improved the employment of agriculture and services, but the local manufacturing employment inhibition effect, with the deepening application of artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing will create more man-machine collaborative jobs, create effect will take advantage. Accordingly put forward, should correctly understand the substitution effect of artificial intelligence, seize the talent training opportunities of artificial intelligence, for different people to differentiate employment promotion and social security policy, is committed to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, and advocate the government focus on social fairness, to ensure that more groups can share the development of artificial intelligence employment opportunities.
