For the first time since DeepSeek claimed the limelight in early 2025, DeepSeek made its prescence publicly at a Chinese government organized conference where it was represented by a senior researcher. The researcher named Chen Deli talked about his pessimistic outlook about the impact of AI on humanity, going to the extent to claim that AI could wipe away all human jobs.During the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Deli was accompanied by the chief executives of many other Chinese AI companies as well including Unitree and BrainCo.
The DeepSeek researcher said durin the conference that AI could be helpful to the humans in the short term but it could threaten human jobs within a decade and AI firms need to be aware about the risks of models they are developing.
"In the next 10-20 years, AI could take over the rest of work (humans perform) and society could face a massive challenge, so at the time tech companies need to take the role of 'defender'," Deli said
“I'm extremely positive about the technology but I view the impact it could have on society negatively.”
He also warned that once AI systems become increasingly capable “tech companies should serve as whistleblowers, warning society of potential risks”.
"Tech companies should play the role of guardians of humanity, at the very least, protecting human safety, then helping to reshape societal order," he added.
Not the first AI company to warn about job loss:
Many AI leaders have warned about the potential of AI take over much of the jobs from humans. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei earlier in the year had predicted that AI could lead to wiping away of half of the entry level white collar jobs and spike unemployment.
Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has also predicted that many of the jobs done by humans could be replaced by AI but he has refrained from going to extremees like Amodei. While Altman maintains an overall positve outlook about AI, he has even talked about an AI taking over his job in the future.
Others like Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis have also acknowledged the possibility of AI taking away some of the jobs currently held by humans but believes that the new technology could ultimately create newer and more valuable jobs.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has however pushed back against the prediction made by Amodei and said that job loss will not be in favour of an AI but to a human who uses AI effectively.
"You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI". Huang said earlier in the year
