If AI means job losses, here’s what Hong Kong DSE students can do to survive the trend
The rapid growth of technology has led to the creation of AI (artificial intelligence) to make human activities more efficient. They combine human-like actions with high productivity, and their surging numbers are causing more people to lose their jobs.
Your article says that a million people in Hong Kong, including accountants, auditors and secretaries, could face job losses. Hong Kong, with its small manufacturing sector, may be at a lower risk than developed economies such as Britain, the US and Japan, where workers in labour-intensive industries, such as plastics and clothing, might find themselves unemployed.
But analysts believe Hong Kong’s four pillar industries will not be immune to threats from AI, and that means financial services, trading and logistics, tourism, and even professional services. Widespread job losses could increase dissatisfaction with the government and disturb social stability.
