Core Viewpoint - Despite soaring corporate profits and continuous GDP growth in the U.S., the labor force has not shared in the prosperity, with labor compensation's share of GDP declining to its lowest level since 1947 [1][2]. Group 1: Labor Market Trends - Labor compensation's share of GDP is projected to drop to 53.8% by Q3 2025, down from 54.6% in the previous quarter and below the decade average of 55.6% [1]. - The U.S. unemployment rate slightly decreased to 4.4% in December 2025, but remains higher than the 4.1% rate from a year prior, with only 584,000 new jobs added in 2025 compared to 2 million in 2024 [2]. Group 2: Economic Disparities - The contrasting performance of corporate profits and labor market data raises concerns about a "no job growth" phenomenon, exacerbating the K-shaped economic recovery where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer [4]. - The decline in labor income share is attributed to wealth distribution favoring capital, with automation replacing human jobs while productivity continues to rise [4][5]. Group 3: Automation and Job Replacement - Automation is expected to replace 25% of total work hours, with AI-driven productivity improvements potentially leading to a 6% to 7% job loss, equating to up to 1 million unemployed individuals [5]. - Despite the potential job losses from automation, new job creation from technological advancements may mitigate the impact [5]. Group 4: Immigration Policy Impact - Tightened immigration policies have led to a reduction of 881,000 foreign workers since January 2025, which has negatively affected job opportunities for domestic workers [9]. - The decrease in foreign labor contradicts claims that such policies would increase the domestic labor force, as evidenced by rising unemployment rates [9][10]. Group 5: Skills Training and Workforce Development - Addressing the automation trend and expanding the labor force requires a focus on skills training and retraining programs, which have not received adequate resources from both political parties [11][12]. - A significant increase in enrollment in vocational schools among Generation Z indicates a shift towards careers less susceptible to automation, with a 16% rise in community college enrollment for vocational programs in 2024 [11].

AI不会取代人，但会重塑你的角色 （来源：银信科技） AI与自动化技术正快速重塑企业IT部门的角色分工。无论是应用开发、网络运维，还是数据管理、系统支持，AI驱动的变革正在逼近。对CIO而言，真正 的挑战不是"AI会取代谁"，而是如何带领团队顺利转型，构建适应AI时代的新型IT能力体系。 过去的一年，AI和自动化在企业IT中的渗透速度超出预期，但AI并不会让大量岗位消失。相反，许多IT人员将被重新部署到新的岗位上，去解决AI无法 独立完成的复杂问题。 这一趋势背后有两大原因： 1、IT人员依旧稀缺。 预算紧张的情况下，CIO更倾向于通过内部转岗和技能再培训，而不是增编。 2、AI仍有"修正期"。 随着AI应用进入深水区，错误的判断、业务不匹配等问题会逐渐暴露出来，企业仍然需要经验丰富的工程师去兜底。 从开发者到AI协作者：IT角色的迁移 AI在应用开发和系统运维中的介入最为明显。 1、开发领域： 低代码/零代码工具的普及，让更多业务用户能够自建应用，传统开发团队的工作将转向更复杂的系统架构、数据工程或AI模型集成。 2、运维领域： 批处理、告警分析、常规维护等任务逐步自动化，运维人员则可能被培训为网络、云基础 ...

新华财经北京12月19日电 12月17-18日，第二届制造业智能化解决方案创新大赛总决赛及创新大会在重 庆市永川区成功举办。中国科学院工业人工智能研究所所长于海斌研究员在创新大会上发表了主旨演 讲。他表示，当前人工智能正驱动制造业向自主化迈进，业界需重视基础研究、高效数据生成、数字底 座等关键环节，构建新一代自动化架构，引领产业变革。 自动化系统是工业革命的重要驱动力。于海斌研究员系统梳理了自动化在历次工业革命中的重要作用。 第一次工业革命的蒸汽机依靠自动控制实现稳定，而第三次工业革命直接以"自动化"为核心，其中PLC （可编程逻辑控制器）率先实现了控制策略的软件化与灵活调整。当前以智能化为标志的第四次工业革 命，自动化技术更是充当了"发起者"角色，但智能化广泛应用后的制造业形态尚在发展中。 构建新一代自动化架构是破局关键。于海斌表示，当前，数据底座、通用模型加上行业级应用服务将成 为新架构。从控制角度看，需突破跨场景认知难题，实现机器不依赖人；在数据层，需从数据库向数据 空间、数据湖演进；在软件层，面向对象的建模需与机器学习、物理模型深度融合。 于海斌强调，要加快布局以下四方面：一是重视基础理论和前瞻技术的 ...
