'AI Made Us Do It': Google Plans More Layoffs After Thousands Cut
Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has indicated that the company is set to make 'tough choices' as it aligns its operations with its artificial intelligence (AI) goals, a move that has been summarized as 'AI made us do it'. This strategic shift is expected to lead to further job cuts, adding to the recent wave of layoffs in the tech industry where Google has already laid off thousands. The broader tech sector has already seen significant layoffs, raising concerns among workers about job security. The focus on AI by Google and similar moves by other tech companies are being cited as reasons for the restructuring, which is impacting employees and sending ripples across the economy.
