Challenges and Controversies Highlighted
Recently, Lu Yixiong, the founder and CEO of Shangmei Co., Ltd., the parent company of the domestic beauty brand Kans, sparked widespread attention on social media with his remarks about AI replacing human labor.
Firstly, excessive reliance on AI for layoffs may trigger panic and unease among employees, affecting the stability and cohesion within the company.
Employees are vital assets for a company's development, and sudden large-scale layoff plans, even if not ultimately implemented, can diminish employees' loyalty and sense of belonging.
Secondly, the current practical application of AI in the beauty industry is still at a superficial stage. While AI has advantages in repetitive tasks, human creativity and emotional connections in areas like product development and brand culture are irreplaceable by AI.
For instance, in the new product innovation center, 70% of the staff were laid off, leaving only 30% who can use AI and those responsible for process control.
