The recent trend of layoffs across various industries has been attributed to the rise of artificial intelligence, with companies reportedly using AI to replace human workers. The LA Times has recently made headlines for firing staff and allegedly demonstrating that AI algorithms can perform better than human writers. This move has sparked discussions about the future of journalism and the potential for AI to drive more layoffs than companies are willing to publicly acknowledge. Professions such as banking, law, and technology are considered most at risk of AI-induced job cuts. Meanwhile, some voices in the tech industry argue that these layoffs are not solely due to AI making positions redundant, but also because some workers were already superfluous, and companies now require funds to invest in AI technology.

Tech companies aren't firing workers because AI makes them redundant. They're firing them because they were always superfluous and now they need the money for AI.
Bankers, lawyers and tech workers most likely to be in AI firing line. https://t.co/rdErquXHnn
