Tech Giants Cut Jobs Amid AI Boom: Salesforce, Meta, Google Lead Layoffs
AI's impact on the job market is becoming increasingly evident, with tech giants announcing significant job cuts. Executives weigh in on the automation's effect on employment.
Salesforce led the way in August, automating tasks and cutting 4,000 support roles. This trend has continued into 2025, with Meta, Block, and Autodesk also reducing their workforce. Gemini, too, has felt the impact, planning to lay off 50 workers at its Sunnyvale offices, with more than 100 people in design-related roles in its cloud division already affected. These cuts span various roles, including user experience, software engineers, and business program managers. Tech companies are anticipating a possible recession and preparing for efficiencies gained from AI.
AI's ability to handle coding and design tasks increases productivity but also leads to job cuts as workloads may not increase significantly. Tech companies are adapting to these changes, with Intel, Microsoft, and Meta also reducing staff while investing more in AI this year. The tech industry braces for further shifts as AI continues to evolve.
