Throughout human history,it can be said that wherever the industrial revolution has progressed,there will be varying degrees of unemployment.Human beings are currently in the sixth wave of technological revolution of the third industrial revolution.The extensive use of artificial intelligence technology makes this wave different from any previous wave.
