AI adoption boosts company headcount, while China pivots to open-source models

New data from Ramp and Revelio Labs indicates that companies heavily adopting AI are experiencing faster headcount growth, with a 10% increase over two years and a 12% rise in entry-level roles. This suggests AI complements rather than replaces jobs by increasing productivity, necessitating more staff for supervision and quality control, and expanding demand through lower task costs. Separately, US chip controls have prompted China to increasingly rely on open-source AI models as critical infrastructure, leading to a significant rise in GitHub repository forking among Chinese developers.
