DURING THE EPIDEMIC PREVENTION AND CONTROL PERIOD, THE GLOBAL TREND OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AND DIGITIZATION IS ACCELERATING. MANY COUNTRIES ARE ACTIVELY IMPLEMENTING INDUSTRIAL MEASURES, INCREASING EDUCATION AND TRAINING EFFORTS, AND ENHANCING ENTERPRISE COMPETITIVENESS TO SEIZE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION.THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM'S "2020 FUTURE JOBS REPORT" RECENTLY RELEASED STATES THAT GLOBAL TRENDS IN AUTOMATION AND DIGITIZATION ARE ACCELERATING. CURRENTLY, OVER 80% OF ENTERPRISES WORLDWIDE ARE ACCELERATING THEIR LAYOUT AND PROMOTING DIGITALIZATION OF WORKFLOWS, WHILE 50% OF ENTERPRISES HOPE TO ACCELERATE THE AUTOMATION OF SOME POSITIONS. THE REPORT PREDICTS THAT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN WAVE OF AUTOMATION WILL CREATE 97 MILLION NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES, AND COUNTRIES SHOULD INCREASE THEIR EFFORTS IN "RETRAINING" AND "SKILL ENHANCEMENT" FOR EMPLOYEES.AUTOMATION AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ARE SHOWING OFF THEIR SKILLSTHE REPORT FROM THE JAPAN ROBOT INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION SHOWS THAT THE EXPORT VOLUME OF JAPANESE ROBOTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THIS YEAR INCREASED BY 13% YEAR-ON-YEAR. IN THE EUROZONE, EMPLOYMENT IN THE FIELD OF COMPUTER PROGRAMMING HAS INCREASED INSTEAD OF DECREASED. ACCORDING TO DATA FROM THE US INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION, IN THE FIRST EIGHT MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, US IMPORTS OF GOODS DECREASED BY 11% YEAR-ON-YEAR, BUT IMPORTS OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS INCREASED BY 5%.THROUGH THE COOPERATION WITH THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANY BRAIN CORP, SAM'S CLUB, A SUBSIDIARY OF WAL MART, AN AMERICAN RETAIL ENTERPRISE, PLANS TO CONTINUE TO DEPLOY 372 NEW AUTOMATIC FLOOR CLEANERS TO ITS STORES THIS FALL. THESE ROBOTS ALSO HAVE A FUNCTION - TO ANALYZE SHELF INVENTORY. WAL MART SAID THAT FOR THE NEEDS OF EPIDEMIC PREVENTION AND CONTROL, SHOPPERS INCREASINGLY PREFER SHOPPING EXPERIENCES WITH LESS CONTACT WITH OTHERS. ROBOTS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN PROVIDE BETTER SOLUTIONS TO HELP REDUCE COSTS.AUTOMATION AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY HAVE ALSO DEMONSTRATED THEIR CAPABILITIES IN AREAS SUCH AS FOOD DELIVERY, EXPRESS DELIVERY, TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT, AND NUCLEIC ACID SAMPLING. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS COMMENTED THAT ROBOTS HAVE BECOME INDISPENSABLE "FRONTLINE WORKERS" IN EPIDEMIC PREVENTION AND CONTROL, PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN HOSPITALS, OFFICES, AND CITIES.THE UVD DISINFECTION ROBOT AND SERVICE ROBOT PRODUCED BY THE DANISH BLUE OCEAN ROBOT COMPANY HAVE BECOME THE "INTERNET CELEBRITY" OF MANY HOSPITALS IN EUROPE. THE ULTRAVIOLET BEAM EMITTED BY THE ULTRAVIOLET LAMP LOADED BY THIS ROBOT CAN DISINFECTION AND STERILIZATION 99.99% OF PATHOGENS BY DESTROYING THE DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID AND RIBONUCLEIC ACID OF BACTERIA, VIRUSES AND OTHER HARMFUL MICROORGANISMS. THE UVD DISINFECTION ROBOT CAN DISINFECTION AND STERILIZATION A HOUSE IN ONLY 10 MINUTES, AND CAN AVOID THE RISK OF INFECTION CAUSED BY MANUAL DISINFECTION.DURING THE EPIDEMIC PREVENTION AND CONTROL PERIOD, THE DEMAND FOR AUTOMATIC SORTING AND TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT FROM JAPAN'S CHUNBEN GROUP SURGED. THE COMPANY ALSO COLLABORATED WITH START-UP TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES TO DEVELOP AN ONLINE TRUCK TRANSPORTATION HANDOVER SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS DRIVERS TO COMPLETE GOODS DELIVERY WITHOUT CONTACT, SAVING TIME AND REDUCING THE RISK OF CONTACT TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO JAPANESE MEDIA REPORTS, THE DEMAND FOR UNMANNED AUTOMATION SYSTEMS IN JAPAN WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN THE FUTURE. BY 2025, THE DEMAND FOR NEXT-GENERATION LOGISTICS SYSTEMS ALONE WILL REACH 651 BILLION YEN (APPROXIMATELY 15.6 YEN PER 1 YUAN).INTRODUCE POLICIES TO SUPPORT THE APPLICATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIESTHE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ROBOTICS PREDICTS THAT THE NUMBER OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE ROBOTS ON DUTY WORLDWIDE WILL INCREASE BY 38% THIS YEAR AND CONTINUE TO GROW IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. FROM 2020 TO 2022, APPROXIMATELY 2 MILLION ROBOTS WILL BE NEWLY INSTALLED WORLDWIDE. A STUDY BY MANAGEMENT CONSULTING FIRM PWC SHOWS THAT "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, ROBOTS, AND OTHER FORMS OF INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION WILL BRING ENORMOUS ECONOMIC BENEFITS, CONTRIBUTING $15 TRILLION IN GLOBAL OUTPUT VALUE BY 2030." SOME COUNTRIES ARE ACTIVELY IMPLEMENTING RELEVANT POLICIES, PROVIDING IMPORTANT IMPETUS FOR THE AUTOMATION REVOLUTION.THE APPLICATION SCENARIOS OF ROBOTS IN JAPAN ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIVERSE, FROM ENTERPRISE PRODUCTION LINES TO LOGISTICS, EDUCATION, SERVICES, AND MORE. IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATION, THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT HAS ISSUED DOCUMENTS SUCH AS THE FIFTH BASIC PLAN FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STRATEGY 2019 IN RECENT YEARS, HOPING TO IMPROVE PEOPLE'S LIVING STANDARDS AND STRENGTHEN THE COMPETITIVENESS OF JAPANESE ENTERPRISES THROUGH INTELLIGENCE.DURING THE EPIDEMIC PREVENTION AND CONTROL PERIOD, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION SPECIALLY LAUNCHED THE "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AUTOMATION INITIATIVE FOR EUROPE'S COMMON RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19" TO COLLECT AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE EPIDEMIC, HOPING TO PUT AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES INTO DISEASE PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY OR IN THE SHORT AND MEDIUM TERM. THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION BELIEVES THAT TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DOCTORS, MEDICAL ROBOTS, AUTOMATED WAREHOUSES, AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WILL CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND IN THE FUTURE, THE ENTIRE EU WILL FURTHER ACCELERATE THE REALIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AND DIGITIZATION.IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, THE LATEST VERSION OF THE "DIGITAL EUROPE" PROJECT RELEASED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION SHOWED THAT THE EU WILL INVEST 600 MILLION EUROS TO TRAIN APPROXIMATELY 256000 PEOPLE IN THE DIGITAL INDUSTRY WITHIN THE EU. AMONG THEM, 160 NEW MASTER'S DEGREES WILL BE ESTABLISHED, 80000 DIGITAL EXPERTS WILL BE TRAINED, AND 150000 DIGITAL TALENTS WILL BE TRAINED FOR OTHER INDUSTRIES THROUGH SHORT-TERM TRAINING PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, THE EU REQUIRES MEMBER STATES TO INTEGRATE "DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION" INTO THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF ECONOMIC RECOVERY TO EXPAND NEW DIGITAL OPPORTUNITIES.INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION GENERATES NEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESNOBEL LAUREATE IN ECONOMICS AND DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR CAPITALISM AND SOCIETY AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, EDMUND PHELPS, RECENTLY STATED THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAS NOT ONLY BROUGHT "ADDITIVE" ROBOTS, BUT ALSO "MULTIPLICATIVE" ROBOTS THAT IMPROVE WORKER PRODUCTIVITY. PHELPS ALSO POINTED OUT THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO FULLY CONSIDER THE SHORT-TERM AND MEDIUM TO LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF INTELLIGENCE, INTRODUCE RELEVANT POLICIES, FORMULATE RELEVANT LAWS AND PROCEDURES TO REGULATE THE USE OF ROBOTS.ECONOMISTS BELIEVE THAT THE LARGE-SCALE APPLICATION AND PROMOTION OF DIGITAL AND AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BROUGHT NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES TO EMPLOYMENT IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES. IN THE FUTURE, COUNTRIES SHOULD INCREASE THEIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING EFFORTS IN RESPONSE TO NEW DEMANDS, WHICH CAN NOT ONLY AVOID THE SITUATION OF "MACHINES REPLACING HUMANS", BUT ALSO CREATE MORE HIGH-QUALITY EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.MANY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THAT NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL IMPACT THE LABOR MARKET AND LEAD TO UNEMPLOYMENT. SOME ANALYSTS BELIEVE THAT IN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS, 14% OF JOBS IN OECD COUNTRIES WILL BE AUTOMATED, AND 32% OF JOBS WILL CHANGE THEIR OPERATIONAL METHODS. IN EU MEMBER STATES, 37% TO 69% OF JOBS WILL BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED, AND 25% OF JOBS WILL UNDERGO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES DUE TO AUTOMATION IMPLEMENTATION.HOWEVER, THE REPORT FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM POINTS OUT THAT DIGITIZATION AND AUTOMATION WILL BRING MORE NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES. ON THE ONE HAND, DUE TO THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS AUTOMATION, THE DEMAND FOR EXISTING JOB POSITIONS HAS DECREASED, AND LOW SKILLED POSITIONS SUCH AS SIMPLE AND REPETITIVE LABOR ARE MOST EASILY REPLACED BY MACHINES. IT IS EXPECTED THAT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, 85 MILLION JOBS WORLDWIDE WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS. HOWEVER, AT THE SAME TIME, DUE TO INVESTMENT IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES, 97 MILLION RELATED JOBS WILL BE CREATED IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, ESPECIALLY WITH A SURGE IN DEMAND FOR POSITIONS RELATED TO HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION AND ALGORITHMS.A RECENT RESEARCH REPORT RELEASED BY THE BRUEGEL INSTITUTE, A EUROPEAN THINK TANK, SUGGESTS THAT NO MATTER HOW ADVANCED AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES ARE, THERE IS STILL A SHORTAGE OF HIGH-QUALITY TALENT, NOT ONLY IN MANAGEMENT, BUT ALSO IN LARGE NUMBERS OF DATA SCIENTISTS, PROGRAMMERS, AND TECHNICAL COMMERCIALIZATION TALENTS. THE EU EXPECTS THAT 96% OF PEOPLE CAN FIND SIMILAR OR BETTER JOBS AFTER SUFFICIENT TRAINING. UNDER THE WAVE OF AUTOMATION IN THE FUTURE, A MAJOR CHALLENGE FACING THE LABOR MARKET IS THAT WORKERS MUST ADAPT TO NEW JOB REQUIREMENTS, AND THEREFORE, IT IS NECESSARY TO INCREASE TRAINING EFFORTS
