In the context of artificial intelligence replacing people in various forms, whether artificial intelligence is a job “killer” or “helper” has triggered discussion among the parties.
8. 被机器人取代并不意味着大量失业， 因为新的就业岗位将被创造出来。 人们应该提升工作技能来应对即将到来的就业大变迁时代。
Being replaced by robots does not mean massive unemployment, because new jobs will be created. People should improve their work skills to cope with the upcoming era of major employment changes.
9. 对企业而言， 虽然人口红利逐渐消失，但通过细化工作内容，使用人工智能技术机器人替代人力岗位的 “技术红利” 与 “机器人红利”，可极大降低成本。
For enterprises, although the demographic dividend is disappearing gradually, by using the robot to replace the “technical dividend” and “robot bonus” of the labor force, the cost can be greatly reduced.
10. 智能机器不是代替人，而是要协助人做好工作。人和机器各有优势，要互相了解才能实现人机协作，但人还是人机关系的主导者。
Smart machines are not a substitute for people, but to help people do their jobs. People and machines have their own advantages. It is necessary to understand each other to achieve human-machine collaboration, but people are still the dominant players in human-machine relations.

助手还是对手
As is vividly portrayed in the cartoon, a yellow robot is grabbing a rice bowl from a worker which writes "jobs" on it, while the worker is panicked and helpless. Under the picture there are some eye-catching words reading that "assistant or opponent", leaving an indelible impression on many people.
Hundreds of years ago, people worried that the industrial revolution would make a large number of unemployment. But history has proved that the new technological upheaval has not led to massive joblessness; rather it has renovated the social division of labor and made the industry more efficient. Therefore, commanding robots to do low-efficiency and low-value-added work, such as dirty, dangerous, and labor-intensive work, is a very practical requirement. On the other hand, as the productivity promotes, many new jobs will be created and people will have more time to do creative work, such as education, culture and art.
Obviously, artificial intelligence and automation are an irresistible trend in social development. As a college student, first of all, being an intellectual, we have an advantage in this new technological upgrading. Secondly, we should always pay attention to the development of AI, learn to utilize frontier technology to enhance our major, and get used to working with artificial intelligence or robots in our future career. Finally, diligence and craftsmanship are not outdated at all times, and only hard work can be invincible.
