At a press conference on the 15th Five-Year Plan, China's NDRC said it will strengthen monitoring and early warning of AI-driven job displacement risks and better link social security with changing employment structures. It will enhance traceability of AI misuse such as algorithmic discrimination, deepfakes and privacy leaks. The "AI+" action will be deepened across scenarios, industries and institutions, with classification guidance for application scenarios and supporting policy systems.

What it means for you

  • Companies deploying AI at scale for roles like contract review, customs filing or claims should expect employment-impact monitoring and should keep records of workforce changes.
  • AI products touching content generation or automated decisions need misuse-traceability capabilities, with particular protection for minors and the elderly.
  • Policy and resource support will flow to high-risk/hard-labor scenarios and pilot bases in manufacturing, energy, transport and healthcare.
