## Summary

On October 23, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Adapting to the Development of AI Technology to Help Build an Employment-Friendly Development Model," proposing that robots be prioritized for deployment in positions facing labor shortages and high-risk environments, and introducing an unemployment buffer period system. The document requires that the scope, intensity, and pace of AI application in labor-intensive industries be handled prudently and steadily. On this basis, the author argues that the valuation logic of low-end substitution-type robot projects will be affected, while scenarios such as power grid inspection, nuclear power maintenance, ship rust removal, and elderly care and companionship are more in line with the policy direction.
