China plans national AI employment and workforce skills plan in five-year plan

China's State Council Information Office says it will roll out a national plan to boost employment and build workforce AI skills, to be included in the next five-year plan.

The plan aims to create jobs through AI-driven innovation, encourage AI adoption in traditional industries, and help workers build AI skills.

A post by X.PIN says China appears to focus on practical applications of AI rather than fears of AI job losses, as in the US. The post is a secondary account, and the plan's details beyond these stated aims have not been reported.
