Part 2 and Part 3 style
Do you think humanoid robots will become common in people’s daily lives?
I think so, yes. Right now, they’re still relatively new, but I’ve already seen delivery robots in hotels in China, which bring takeout right to your door. It saves guests the trouble of going downstairs, and it feels futuristic. In the long run, humanoid robots might take on roles like caregiving for the elderly or even assisting in education. Of course, it won’t replace human connection, but as a tool for convenience and support, I see a huge potential. In fact, I’m quite optimistic about this field — I even invested in some companies that develop humanoid robots, because I believe they’ll play a big role in the future economy.
How will AI affect employment in the future?
Well, I think the impact is already quite obvious. Many entry-level or repetitive jobs are kind of disappearing because AI can do them faster and more accurately. For example, basic data entry has almost no future, since a piece of software can process thousands of records in seconds without making typos. Even some creative roles, like junior graphic designers, are under pressure, because AI tools can now generate logos, layouts, or even ad posters in just a few clicks.
On the physical side, intelligent robots are starting to take over simple labor work. If you look at warehouses, you’ll see robots sorting packages more efficiently than humans. In China, I’ve even seen delivery robots in hotels that bring food or takeout straight to your room, so you don’t have to pick it up yourself. And of course, driverless cars and trucks are being tested, which could change the whole transport industry in the next decade.
That being said, I don’t think AI means “no jobs” at all. It just means people need to shift towards roles that require more judgment, creativity, or human connection — things machines can’t fully replicate, at least not yet. For instance, teachers, psychologists, or nurses still need a real human presence to comfort and guide people. Jobs that involve creativity, like filmmakers, writers, or product designers, are also hard to fully replace, because they rely on taste and originality. And then there are service jobs that depend on trust, like lawyers, managers, or even chefs in high-end restaurants — people want the human touch, not just a machine-made solution.
Why is renewable energy important for the future?
Because it’s the only sustainable solution in the long run. Fossil fuels are limited and cause pollution, while renewable energy like solar and wind is clean and essentially endless. Countries like China are already investing heavily in this area, building solar farms and wind turbines. If we want to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change, renewable energy has to be at the center of the strategy.
Can technology really solve environmental problems?
Yeah, to some extent it can, but only if we use it in the right way. For example, electric cars are becoming quite common — in China I often see charging stations everywhere now, which makes it easier for people to switch from petrol cars. Solar panels and wind farms are also making a difference, and even small initiatives, like waste-sorting systems in residential communities, encourage people to recycle more in daily life.
But at the same time, we can’t ignore the fact that producing all these high-tech gadgets, like batteries for electric cars, also creates waste and pollution. So for me, the key is balance. We need new technology, but we also need companies and governments to stick to sustainable practices. Tech can definitely help, but it’s not a magic fix — people still have to take responsibility.
