- ‘AI is more efficient’ is not enough reason to lay off staff, says Chinese court
Enterprises cannot terminate employees solely to replace them with artificial intelligence, a court in China has ruled, complicating how enterprises seek to justify automation-driven layoffs. The case involved an employee whose role was partly automated, leading to a significant pay cut and their eventual dismissal after they refused reassignment, the court document said. “The termination grounds cited by the company did not fall under negative circumstances such as business downsizing or operational difficulties, nor did they meet the legal condition that made it ‘impossible to continue the employment contract,’” according to a Bloomberg News translation of the court’s statement about the case . The Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court found that AI adoption does not constitute a “major change in objective circumstances” required under Chinese labor law to end an employment contract, and that the employer’s justification failed to meet the legal threshold for termination.
