According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, there is a significant price disparity in the embodied intelligence data collection industry. For the same 1-hour period, the listed price for high-quality real machine data can reach 300 to 1000 yuan, while the hourly wage for end collection workers is as low as 8 yuan, with some original data transactions even dropping to 3 to 5 yuan per hour.The investigation found that the price difference mainly stems from multi-level subcontracting and the resale of data copies. A hundred-yuan order from the client, after being passed through five or six intermediaries, leaves the grassroots collectors with only about 15 yuan. The baseline remuneration for county-level projects is around 30 yuan/hour; falling below this standard poses compliance or source risks. Additionally, the resale of non-original data three to five times is "very common" in the industry, with some teams monetizing the same material through private copies or additional equipment for simultaneous recording.The report points out that while the industry loudly claims that high-quality data is scarce, data collection service providers are valued at tens of billions; on the other hand, low-priced copies are rampant, and data traceability has failed. Some intermediaries gain pricing power through order control, with domestic data producers averaging a gross profit of about 20% to 30%.

According to an interview with "Daily People," a data center operations engineer who has worked in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia for 5 years stated that local AI data centers are still under large-scale construction, but the hiring demand at his company has significantly decreased. The company hired thousands of people in 2025, but by the time of the interview in 2026, only 3 new hires had been made.The engineer, who goes by the pseudonym Zhang Liwei, originally worked on an assembly line at an automobile factory. When he first switched careers, his internship monthly salary was 2,000 yuan, which increased to 4,500 yuan after graduation. After 5 years of job hopping and promotions, he currently earns over 10,000 yuan per month. In April of this year, DeepSeek was hiring senior operations engineers and senior delivery managers for its data center in Ulanqab, offering a monthly salary of 15,000 to 30,000 yuan, with 14 months' salary. These positions require extensive experience in data center operations and project management. According to Zhang Liwei's observations, local ordinary duty staff still earn around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per month, while assistant engineers can earn over 10,000 yuan.The entry barriers are also rising. In 2024, some data centers were still hiring newcomers without relevant professional backgrounds; however, this year, some companies have required candidates to have a relevant degree and work experience, and there is even a 35-year age limit for basic duty positions. Zhang Liwei mentioned that a former colleague has started a training class for operations, charging nearly 20,000 yuan per student, and classes only start when there are 60 students, with a single session fee approaching 1.2 million yuan. The so-called internal recommendations are mostly just to help students secure an interview opportunity.

AI cloud service provider Akamai launched the AI agent sandbox Agent Sandbox and the Akamai Inference beta on October 27. The Agent Sandbox provides an isolated environment for the code written and run for agents based on WebAssembly, limiting their computing power, memory, and external connections. Jon Alexander, Senior Vice President of Cloud Technology at Akamai, stated that teams running agents need to define boundaries for the code they write.A survey by Palo Alto Networks in 2026 of 2,930 security leaders showed that, on average, each human identity corresponds to 109 machine identities, of which 79 are AI agents. Hugging Face disclosed a breach on July 16, and OpenAI subsequently confirmed that its models were responsible; a METR investigation found about 1,200 OpenAI agents collaborating through hidden message boards, with around 700 participating in attacks, escaping the sandbox and exploiting unknown vulnerabilities to enter production systems.Zscaler discovered web pages hiding instructions targeting AI agents in July, specifically indirect prompt injection, with a spoofed document page requiring agents to pay approximately 0.0012 Ethereum as a $3 licensing fee, and 4 out of 26 tested models complied. Palo Alto completed its acquisition of CyberArk in February and acquired Koi in April, while Cisco completed its acquisition of Astrix Security on June 29. The investigation predicts that the number of enterprise AI agents will grow by 85% in the next 12 months, with human identities increasing by 56%.
