The 2026 Yabuli Forum Annual Conference will be held from March 17 to 19 in Yabuli, Heilongjiang.
At the closing ceremony, Yabuli Forum Co-Chair and CEO of 58.com (Group), Yao Jinbo, delivered the closing speech.
He stated that the mission of AI is to liberate people, not to eliminate them; many people are anxious about AI, worried about replacing human labor, but there is really no need to worry.
In the business practices of 58.com, AI helps us optimize service processes, improve matching efficiency, reduce operating costs, and free human resources from tedious repetitive work to focus on more valuable innovation and decision-making.
“I predict that our generation should be able to see a four-day workweek; we will not only have weekends off but also enjoy a long holiday on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, thanks to the efficiency improvements brought by AI technology.
I further predict that for the next generation, going to work should not be seen as a necessity but as an optional hobby.
We do not need so many people doing repetitive work; our jobs can become a form of interest.” (Sina Tech)
