Abstract
As an important factor of scientific and technological innovation, artificial intelligence has an important impact on employment. The rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought great opportunities and challenges to employment. This paper constructs a theoretical framework, systematically sorts out relevant literature, and analyzes the substitution and promotion effects of artificial intelligence on employment in detail. Studies have shown that artificial intelligence has activated potential related industries through its penetration, collaboration, substitution and creativity, and its impact on employment is all-round and multifaceted, which may not only replace employment in traditional sectors, but also promote employment in new fields. As a disruptive technology, the impact of artificial intelligence on employment cannot be simply asserted with “increase” or “decrease”, and there is a profound mechanism behind it.
