Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly permeating diverse sectors, emerging as a focal point for capital market investment and fundamentally transforming the principles underlying macroeconomic operations. Huang Yiping, the Dean of the National School of Development at Peking University, highlighted that, at present, AI has not yet substantially elevated total factor productivity—a scenario typical of the initial phases of technological adoption. However, as industries adapt and resource allocation becomes more efficient, AI is poised to emerge as a pivotal force driving economic expansion. To further foster AI innovation and deployment, Huang Yiping recommends embracing a 'people-centered' philosophy and enacting a 'People Investment' strategy. This entails nurturing multidisciplinary professionals skilled in 'specialized domains + AI tools' to enhance human-machine synergy, and enhancing unemployment insurance and social security frameworks to provide comprehensive, high-quality care services throughout individuals' lifespans and health journeys.
