Human–AI Co-Creation News — 2026-09-22 (Tue)

Overview

While there have been reports of structural changes in companies that have adopted AI, with more senior hires and fewer entry-level hires, multiple media have highlighted the urgent need to establish a supervisory system for AI agents. At the same time, conflicting statements from AI company CEOs over regulations and slowdowns and lawsuits naming OpenAI as a defendant are emerging as management risks.

Corporate management decision-making

- Alibaba: Eddie Wu announced a company-wide "full stack AI" strategy at the 2026 Apsara Conference and launched "Qwen Intelligence" for agent-based smartphones (Alibaba official). - Vinspeed and Siemens: Signed a vehicle supply agreement to deepen cooperation in the Vietnam high-speed rail field (Siemens official website).

Production management using humanoids

No applicable information

ROI concept

- It has been pointed out that expanding data centers comes with considerable costs (Supply Chain Management Review). - It has been argued that "the CEO's challenge is not whether to introduce AI or not, but rather what to introduce." (Mexico Business News)

Balance of investment in human resources and humanoids

No relevant information (no mention of direct investment in humanoids. Regarding human resources, only the trend of increasing senior hiring and decreasing new graduate hiring was confirmed, see item 6)

Labor Administration/Worker Protection (Regulatory Authority Perspective)

Movements in each country

Remarks from VIPs

- Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO): Reportedly told President Trump, ``The president saw through the reality of AI pessimism'' (Yahoo Tech). NVIDIA opposes the slowdown in AI research and development across the industry and is reportedly positioned as an ally of the Trump administration's AI policies (TradingKey). - Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO: While President Trump opposes slowdown, saying "those who win with AI will win," Nadella says technology "must remain under human control" (Yahoo). - Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO): Reportedly calling for a slowdown in AI development (LAmag). He is also reported to have made some concerning remarks to SpaceX investors (Yahoo Finance). - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: The AI industry reportedly admitted it had done a "terrible job" in explaining its benefits (Yahoo Finance). It is reported that he was invited to the state dinner for Trump and Xi Jinping along with Elon Musk and others (USA Today). A lawsuit has been filed by the Province of British Columbia in connection with the Tumbler Ridge shooting (see paragraph 12).

Integrated analysis: How is it effective for management decisions

The increase in hiring of seniors and decrease in hiring of new graduates (Section 6) and the expansion of delegation to agent-type AI (Section 8) are movements in the same direction, suggesting that companies are replacing ``young people responsible for execution'' with AI agents and redistributing jobs to increase the number of ``experienced people responsible for judgment and supervision''. On the other hand, the limits of oversight (paragraph 8) pointed out by TechTarget and marketscreener.com and the alleged lawsuits and intercompany agreements regarding the slowdown in AI development (paragraph 12) are in tension, meaning that the faster management delegates authority to agents, the greater the legal risks surrounding auditing and responsibility. As Jensen Huang and Dario Amodei's statements (paragraph 14) indicate, there is a split within the industry on whether to slow down, and individual companies are now forced to make investment decisions that not only assess ROI (paragraph 10) but also take into account regulatory and litigation risks (paragraph 12). There are no concrete movements confirmed in this headline regarding production management using humanoids and investment allocation with human resources, and it appears that the focus of investment is on the construction of software-type agents and supervisory systems.

Future points of interest

To what extent will the implementation of supervision and audit tools for AI agents be institutionalized in response to litigation risks (OpenAI lawsuits, corporate agreement lawsuits)? 2. Is the trend of increasing hiring of seniors and decreasing hiring of new graduates confirmed in other companies and other regions (evidence of structural changes in the human resources pyramid)? 3. How will the differing positions of Mr. Huang, Mr. Amodei, and Mr. Nadella regarding the slowdown in AI development affect each company's investment allocation and regulatory response?
