AI Disrupts Workplace: Urgent Need to Restructure Human Capital

AI Disrupts Workplace: Urgent Need to Restructure Human Capital

AI顛覆職場秩序   人力資本亟待重構

渣打集團上月中宣布計劃於2030年前削減逾15%的後勤及支援職位,受影響人數接近8,000。在投資者簡報會上,行政總裁溫拓思(Bill Winters)表示,銀行策略「並非單純削減成本」,而是在特定情況下,以金融資本與投資資本取代「低價值人力資本」。雖然他其後補充,銀行會為受影響員工提供再培訓、內部轉職等安排,強調削減職位只反映職能轉變,而非否定個人價值。

然而一言既出,負面印象難以一筆勾銷。新加坡前總統哈莉瑪(Halimah Yacob)就公開批評其冷漠用語令人不安。據報香港與新加坡的監管機構亦就裁員安排,要求銀行作出說明,包括企業是否以人工智能(AI)作為縮減人手的正當化理由。

這場爭議所以備受關注,在於它折射出AI不再只是提升效率的輔助工具,而是開始重塑招聘結構、職位層級與教育回報。

初出茅廬者率先承壓

這種轉變對香港初階職位的影響尤其明顯。勞工及福利局局長上月回覆立法會議員時指出,適合大學畢業生的全職職位空缺,已由2022年約8萬個,下跌至2025年約3.1萬個,跌幅約61%;其中行政、資訊科技及編程等職位減幅尤為顯著。

無庸置疑,AI引發的焦慮正由科技業廣泛擴散至白領與教育領域。過往需大量新人處理的文書整理、行政協調與初步分析工作,已漸由生成式AI完成。可見首當其衝擊就是原本讓年輕人投身工作的初級職位,如今正被重新設計或直接被系統吸收。

這亦非香港獨有的現象。根據世界經濟論壇於2025年發表的《未來工作報告》,AI、資訊處理、機械人與自動化正同時在全球範圍創造與淘汰職位。其中增長最快的技能集中於AI與大數據、網絡安全及科技素養;而下降最快的則包括重複性行政類職位。

報告顯示,到2030年,約39%現有技能將被重塑或變得過時,約40% 僱主預計將在 AI 能自動化執行的領域縮減人手,但也有高達70%企業計劃招募具有 AI 新技能的員工。超過60% 僱主認為「技能缺口」(skills gap)是目前企業轉的最大障礙。AI真正改變的不只是職位數量,而是僱主衡量人才的準則,職場的核心競爭力變成能否提出關鍵問題、整合跨部門資訊,以及在不確定環境中作出判斷,而非單純執行既定程序的能力。

勞動市場倒逼教育轉型

對畢業生而言,這亦意味着求職壓力來自「可替代性」上升的現實。當部分初級工作可由AI完成,企業招聘大學畢業生時,要求條件往往包括成熟的溝通、策劃與分析能力。職場學習曲線被提前至大學教育階段,學位不再等同就業保證,獲僱主青睞者須具備實習經驗、跨學科能力、國際視野,以及與科技協作的能力。

事實上,高等教育界正作出相應調整。在2025至2028年三年期內,8所資助大學將開辦約30項新課程,涵蓋人工智能、數據科學、網絡安全、創意產業及可持續發展等新興領域,令課程設計與產業趨勢接軌。同時,教育局公布的2026/27學年指定課程名單中,不少院校在本科課程內,加入人工智能商業應用、智能資訊系統、創意媒體科技等元素,足見AI已全面向商業、傳播、創意及跨學科領域滲透。

學以致用的重新演繹

即便如此,一個更根本的問題亦同時浮現:教育應否只管追趕科技變化,還是應深思哪些能力難以被機器取代?

近年商業分析課程迅速崛起,逐步把傳統商科內容轉而結合Python、資料庫、統計與決策分析訓練,並設有AI相關選修方向,強調利用數據設計策略,聚焦塑造能夠「與AI協作」的人才。換言之,在AI發展一日千里的時代,商業分析正從一門專修技能,邁向商科教育重新界定就業能力的先決條件。

教學與評核方式無疑是不容忽視的另一環。以往一次性筆試、標準答案或學術論文為主的評核方式必須與時並進。高等教育勢必更重視口頭匯報、分階段作業與真實情境任務,以判斷學生的學習成果,而非只靠熟練使用AI輸出答案。至於教師的角色,亦將側重於引導學生提問、辨識錯誤、建立判斷框架,以及把零散資訊理出脈絡,達致深化理解。顯而易見,未來教育投資不應只管購買平台與軟件,更須仗賴師資培訓與倫理規範,否則只能提升課堂效率,教育意義卻蕩然無存。

AI普及化不一定表示人類能力被邊緣化。輝達行政總裁黃仁勳指出,AI正使人類語言成為新程式語言,降低人機互動門檻,令職場競爭由編碼能力轉向問題表達、資訊整合與判斷能力。同時,Anthropic聯合創辦人阿莫迪(Daniela Amodei)認為,隨着AI能力提升,企業將更注重溝通、同理心與協作等人性能力,人文學科的重要性將不減反增。特斯拉行政總裁馬斯克亦強調,機器難以完全複製人類的創造力與判斷力,在醫療分診或自動駕駛等涉及倫理與即時決策的情境尤其如此。

效率與尊嚴之間的取捨

篇首所述的渣打事件,讓社會提前直接面對一個尖銳議題:在AI重塑經濟之際,究竟應由企業以效率與成本為價值標準,抑或由社會在制度與倫理層面辨清工作的意義?

未來職場將減少對重複性人手的需求,關鍵繫於哪些能力會被放大、哪些階梯會被抽走、哪些人可能在轉型中被邊緣化。明乎此,教育不應僅為市場輸送技能,更應以培養判斷力、適應力、溝通力與倫理意識為先。若企業只懂以成本與產出衡量人才,最先流失的恐怕不單是職位,而是制度對人的基本尊重。要是學校盲目追趕科技潮流,而忽略培養新時代所需的人文與批判能力,掌握新工具並無助於適應變局。

總而言之,這場有關企業部署的輿論激發出香港必須面對的核心問題:在AI重塑經濟之際,我們是否已準備好重新定義工作、教育與人的本質?

Over the past few months, there has been a lot of discussion in the tech world regarding the shortcomings of OpenClaw (popularly known as "Lobster"). These issues include unpredictable behavior, accidental data loss, skyrocketing computing costs, and the risk of becoming a channel for hacker attacks.
