Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology of the future. It is already becoming part of our daily lives.
In recent years, many well-known companies have announced layoffs. While each company has its own reasons, AI has become one of the factors that allows some work to be automated or completed with fewer people. Similar changes are taking place around the world, including China, where AI applications are expanding rapidly across many industries.
This reality has raised an important question:
Will AI take away our jobs?
The answer is not a simple yes or no.
AI is replacing some routine and repetitive tasks, but it is also creating new opportunities. Throughout history, technological advances have transformed the way people work. New skills become valuable while others become less relevant. AI is accelerating this process at an unprecedented speed.
One piece of advice has stayed with me. Renowned AI researcher Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford professor and one of the world's leading voices in artificial intelligence, has consistently encouraged people to learn AI. Rather than fearing it, we should understand it and learn how to work with it.
Her message is both practical and hopeful:
Don't compete with AI. Learn to use AI to become more productive, more creative, and more capable.
This advice applies to people of all ages.
Students can use AI to learn more effectively. Professionals can improve their productivity. Entrepreneurs can build new businesses with AI-powered tools. Even retirees can use AI to write, create, translate, organize memories, and continue lifelong learning.
My own journey has convinced me of this. AI has helped me write blog posts, translate articles, organize ideas, and begin preparing my memoir. AI did not replace my experiences—it helped me preserve and share them.
There will certainly be challenges ahead. Some jobs will disappear. Others will be transformed. Society will need to support workers through education, retraining, and lifelong learning.
But one thing is becoming increasingly clear:
Those who understand AI and know how to use it will be better prepared for the future than those who ignore it.
The AI era has arrived. We may not be able to stop the changes it brings, but we can choose how we respond.
Learning AI today may be one of the most valuable investments we can make—for our careers, our families, and our future.

AI 正在改变就业市场，学习 AI 或许是最好的出路
人工智能（AI）已经不再是未来的科技，而是正在融入我们每天的生活。
近年来，不少国际知名企业相继宣布裁员。虽然每家公司的原因不尽相同，但 AI 的快速发展，确实让部分工作能够实现自动化，或由更少的人完成。类似的变化也正在世界各地发生，包括中国，AI 已广泛应用于各行各业。
这也引发了一个许多人关心的问题：
AI 会不会抢走我们的工作？
答案并不是简单的「会」或「不会」。
AI 的确正在取代一些重复性高、规律性强的工作，但与此同时，它也创造了许多新的机会。回顾历史，每一次重大科技进步都会改变人们的工作方式。有些技能逐渐被淘汰，也会有新的技能变得更加重要。而 AI 正以前所未有的速度，加快这个过程。
有一句话让我印象深刻。
国际知名人工智能专家、斯坦福大学教授 李飞飞（Fei-Fei Li） 一直鼓励大家学习 AI。她认为，与其害怕 AI，不如主动了解 AI、学会使用 AI，与 AI 协同工作。
她传递的信息既务实，又充满希望：
不要与 AI 竞争，而是学会利用 AI，让自己变得更高效、更有创造力、更有价值。
这句话适用于每一个人。
学生可以利用 AI 提升学习效率；上班族可以借助 AI 提高工作生产力；创业者可以利用 AI 开发新的商业机会；即使是退休人士，也可以运用 AI 写作、创作、翻译、整理人生故事，并持续学习新知识。
就我个人而言，AI 已经成为我生活中的好帮手。它帮助我撰写博客、进行中英文翻译、整理思路，并开始筹划我的人生回忆录。AI 并没有取代我的人生经历，而是帮助我更好地保存、整理和分享这些珍贵的故事。
当然，我们也必须正视未来的挑战。
有些工作会消失，有些工作会发生巨大改变。社会需要提供更多教育、培训和再学习的机会，帮助更多人顺利适应 AI 时代。
但有一点越来越清楚：
懂得 AI、会运用 AI 的人，将比拒绝学习 AI 的人，更有能力迎接未来。
AI 时代已经来临。
我们无法阻止时代前进，但我们可以决定如何面对它。
今天开始学习 AI，或许就是为自己的事业、家庭和未来，做出的其中一个最有价值的投资。
