About

Researching how AI changes work.

I am Qiqing He, an AI workforce transformation strategist and founder of the independent Global AI Governance & Workforce Transformation Policy Observatory. I study how AI changes jobs, workflows, skills, and early-career pathways — and how enterprises and governments can respond.

My research draws particularly on China and Asia. I connect policy developments and enterprise experience with the practical questions underneath them: how work is redesigned, how people build capability, and how institutions manage the transition.

My public contributions include co-authored World Economic Forum analysis of AI in the workplace, participation in Scaling Innovation Through Talent at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, and a panel discussion on CGTN Europe’s The Agenda. These contributions are distinct from my leadership of the independent Observatory.

Research & dialogue

How I work

  • Research begins with specific policy, enterprise, and workforce questions.
  • Institutional dialogue helps test interpretations against the experience of practitioners.
  • Publications and commentary connect those findings with decisions about jobs, capabilities, and institutional readiness.

Based in China, working across international policy, research, and enterprise conversations.
