GLM-5.2, produced by Z.ai, is almost as good as Anthropic\u2019s latest model but runs at less than a tenth of its price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">The A.I. race between the U.S. and China has been front of mind at the highest levels of government in both countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">But creating the most potent model is not the only \u2014 and maybe not even the best \u2014 way to measure A.I. success. Today I write about an area that\u2019s had less attention, but where China might well have an edge: managing the human and political fallout from the A.I. revolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-9zl7ef expuye50\" id=\"link-60d4749d\">Robotaxis and A.I. Marxism<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">If there is one thing China\u2019s Communist Party fears, it\u2019s a restive proletariat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">In Wuhan, the world\u2019s largest open-air laboratory for driverless cars, taxi drivers <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sixthtone.com\/news\/1015505\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">first complained<\/a> about the growing fleet of robotaxis two years ago. Petitions were filed. Social media posts were hashtagged. The local outcry was noisy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">It focused minds in the party, which reacted swiftly to censor the protests online. But it also set off a bigger rethink of something that worries many in the West, too. How to avoid mass displacement of humans by A.I. in the labor market \u2014 and the political backlash that comes with it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">China has more experience than most countries with automating jobs. More than two million robots work in its factories. Driverless delivery vans roam many of its cities. Service robots attend to guests in hotels and restaurants. Parking-lot robots swap out dying E.V. batteries. Drones deliver lunch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">So far the fallout has been mostly among blue-collar workers. But A.I. is primarily threatening college graduates. And for an authoritarian regime that fears political instability, that\u2019s a group that has historically caused trouble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">Which is why China\u2019s goal to become the world\u2019s A.I. superpower is now officially twinned with another one: keeping humans at the core of the A.I. economy. And over the past year, the government has started acting more decisively to make that happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\"><strong class=\"F_p3NG_bold\">\u2018Liberating labor,\u2019 one court case at a time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">When the Communist Party wants to show it really means something, it puts it in a five-year plan. And on Page 72 of its current five-year plan, China commits to \u201ccomprehensively address\u201d the impact of A.I. on employment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">I spoke to Kyle Chan at the Brookings Institution, who studies China\u2019s A.I. policy. He told me that China wants A.I. to augment humans \u2014 that is, make them more productive across old and new industries \u2014 not replace them. And in the process of transitioning to this A.I. economy, it says, it wants to cushion the impact to avoid social fallout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">My colleague <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/05\/19\/business\/china-ai-unemployment.html\" title=\"\">Catie Edmondson recently wrote<\/a> about what this looks like. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is promising \u201ctargeted employment support for key industries.\u201d One member of the National People\u2019s Congress <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.sina.com.cn\/stock\/roll\/2025-03-03\/doc-inenkfeh9232082.shtml\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">is calling for an<\/a> \u201cA.I.-unemployment insurance program\u201d as a safety net for displaced workers. Party officials have pushed for vocational training to help workers adapt to an A.I.-centric job market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">Chinese scholars have even been developing a field they call A.I. Marxism \u2014 trying to apply a Marxist lens to questions like \u201cWho or what creates value after the A.I. revolution?\u201d (The machine? The human who invented it? The human who operates it?)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">Perhaps most strikingly, the government is leaning heavily on companies to avoid layoffs. And those who don\u2019t fall in line might find themselves in court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">There have already been several high-profile rulings siding with workers who were dismissed. In April, a court ruled that a tech company had illegally laid off a worker after replacing him with A.I. software. The ruling delivered an implicit warning to other employers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">\u201cThe development of artificial intelligence technology should be applied to liberating labor, promoting employment and improving people\u2019s livelihood,\u201d the Hangzhou Intermediate People\u2019s Court wrote. \u201cLabor law allows employers to undertake technological changes and upgrade their operations, but it should also take into account the protection of workers\u2019 legitimate rights and interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">Just how that will work in practice, and how far the government is actually prepared to go with companies that don\u2019t comply, remains to be seen. But what these rulings underscore is how much China is thinking about the problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\"><strong class=\"F_p3NG_bold\">Two different A.I. visions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">The U.S. is letting tech companies take the lead on A.I., and Silicon Valley is focused primarily on one thing: achieving superintelligent machines capable of displacing humans. It\u2019s an approach the Trump administration seems to be broadly on board with, or at least isn\u2019t willing to stop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">China\u2019s approach is different. China is imagining what it wants its economy and society to look like and how A.I. can help achieve that, Chan, the Brookings expert, says. It wants a self-reliant economy, and so it\u2019s embedding A.I. in every industry \u2014 from flashy new businesses like robotics to uncool old industries like steel or cement \u2014 to turbocharge productivity so it can never be strategically vulnerable again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">It also wants stability and so, even as it does so, it\u2019s thinking about how to keep humans employed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">China\u2019s vision for A.I. is state-driven, aimed at achieving government goals. America\u2019s is company-led \u2014 companies like Open A.I. are pursuing superintelligence because it fits with their own interests, not because of a broader U.S. strategy, for now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">The lesson from China isn\u2019t that countries should follow its specific approach to A.I. and jobs, Chan says \u2014 Chinese-style control over the tech industry isn\u2019t feasible in most Western countries, for example. But China shows that policymakers have agency<strong class=\"F_p3NG_bold\"> <\/strong>over this technology. They can influence its direction, rather than just letting the (A.I.) chips fall where they may.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">Human choices still matter. That\u2019s one reason we\u2019re already seeing two very different visions for the future of A.I., playing out in real time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<hr class=\"vr2D5G_rule css-15x7ld\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"css-jgxmvg e1ioehd20\" id=\"link-4263e074\"><span><strong class=\"F_p3NG_bold\">OTHER NEWS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"css-yej98i e1s5juxr0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">As traffic in the Strait of Hormuz <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/30\/business\/strait-hormuz-ships-iran-war.html\" title=\"\">begins to pick up<\/a> again, Iran and Oman are moving forward with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/30\/world\/middleeast\/iran-war-oman-strait-hormuz-fee-ships.html\" title=\"\">plans to collect payment<\/a> for transiting ships.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">Russia said it had shot down 419 drones from <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/30\/world\/europe\/moscow-drone-attack-russia-ukraine-war.html\" title=\"\">a Ukrainian attack<\/a> that targeted areas including Moscow and Crimea.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">The Supreme Court <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2026\/06\/30\/us\/supreme-court-birthright-citizenship\" title=\"\">struck down<\/a> President Trump\u2019s executive order limiting birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">Keiko Fujimori was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/29\/world\/americas\/peru-presidential-election-keiko-fujimori-conservative.html\" title=\"\">elected president of Peru<\/a>, decades after the collapse of her father\u2019s authoritarian government.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">A bomb <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/30\/world\/europe\/monaco-parcel-bomb-explosion.html\" title=\"\">exploded in Monaco<\/a>, injuring three people and prompting a cross-border hunt for the perpetrator.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman and ally of the American far right, was sentenced in New York to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/29\/us\/guo-wengui-sentencing.html\" title=\"\">30 years in prison<\/a> for defrauding investors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c e17iupae0\">\n<p class=\"css-11haxaj e1me5xab0\">More than <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/30\/world\/europe\/spain-migrants-legal-status.html\" title=\"\">one million undocumented migrants<\/a> in Spain have applied to legalize their status under a new program, Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez said.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"css-jgxmvg e1ioehd20\" id=\"link-4423d6c7\"><span>TOP OF THE WORLD<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">The most clicked link in your newsletter yesterday was about a study that involved <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/25\/science\/evolution-laughter-apes.html\" title=\"\">tickling baby apes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"vr2D5G_rule css-15x7ld\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"css-jgxmvg e1ioehd20\" id=\"link-4782f63d\"><span><strong class=\"F_p3NG_bold\">WORLD CUP<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/live-blogs\/ivory-coast-vs-norway-live-updates-world-cup-2026-score-result\/XPK77E5y1hKM\/\" title=\"\">Norway won a World Cup knockout game<\/a> for the first time, defeating Ivory Coast 2-1 with a late goal by Erling Haaland.
