Google is set to reduce its workforce in 2024, with more than 700 job cuts in the Bay Area and hundreds more globally, particularly in its ad division as it transitions to AI-powered sales. Sundar Pichai, the CEO, has indicated that these 'role eliminations' are necessary to achieve the company's 'ambitious goals' and to 'simplify execution'. The layoffs are part of a larger trend, with 25% of CEOs planning to replace human workers with AI this year. Despite this, Google maintains a substantial workforce of 182,000 employees. The tech industry, after a 'Year of Efficiency', is continuing to see job cuts as companies like Google and Amazon invest heavily in generative AI.
