Despite executive warnings about AI replacing workers, only 75 job cuts were explicitly tied to AI implementation out of 286,679 layoffs this year. The real story is more complex.
The company I work at has an AI-related job freeze.
At the same time, AI is in the evaluation phase in the company and hardly anyone uses it for anything really. There are surveys, and they all say that AI can help a little bit in some niche circumstances, but that for most of the work it really does nothing.
Also, the AI evaluation is entirely driven by some curious employees and doesn’t really have anthing to do with upper management. In fact, upper management doesn’t want to pay the AI subscription fees.
