Senior DeepSeek researcher warned about automation of most professions

An event happened! Chinese startup DeepSeek rarely appears in public. But now the company’s senior researcher Chen Deli spoke at the state World Internet Conference.

Chen Deli spoke on a panel together with heads of 5 other companies known as China’s “6 little AI dragons”. This is DeepSeek’s 2nd appearance at an industry event in recent months.

So Chen stated he’s optimistic about the technology itself, but pessimistic about its impact on society. According to him, current AI limitations mean people and machines are in a “honeymoon”. But he warned: most jobs may ultimately be automated.

“People will be completely freed from work eventually, which may sound good, but will actually shake society to its foundations”, he said. Chen called on AI companies to become “informants” and warn the public about professions that will disappear first.

DeepSeek was founded in 2023 with a mission to develop a hypothetical system matching the cognitive abilities of an educated adult. One of the company’s main strengths is “long-term focus” and avoiding short-term trends, Chen emphasized. But it wouldn’t be “alarmism” to consider such systems dangerous to society, he added.
