Chinese court rules that companies cannot replace workers with AI. [https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/china-legal-ai-automation](https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/china-legal-ai-automation) An employee named Zhou checked AI output for a tech company. His bosses tried to replace him with a machine. They demanded he take a \~40% pay cut. **When he refused they fired him.** Zhou fought back and took them to court. He won. The company appealed the decision to a higher court. Zhou won again. **The Hangzhou Intermediate People Court ruled that AI is not a legal excuse to break a job contract.** Imagine that. China has stronger labor rights than the US. In the US, At-will employment means your company can fire you for almost any reason. There's no federal law protecting workers from AI displacement. **The US government can't even agree that $7.25 is not a living wage.**
