CEOs are getting closer to finally saying it — AI will wipe out more jobs than they can count
since the downturn of 2022 was kickstarted. Though the company has already announced two rounds of layoffs that will affect 27,000 workers, it seems it's ready to bet big on AI too to plug the gaps.
In an earnings call last week, Amazon's chief financial officer Brian Olsavsky said that the company iswhile simultaneously"spending less year-over-year" on core fulfillment and transportation. This will free up resources for the company's giant profit machine, Amazon Web Services."So we're creating some space in our fulfillment and transportation number that's being repurposed over to AWS," he said.Dropbox CEO Drew Houston announced on April 27 that the company would be laying off around 16% of its workforce – or 500 workers. With growth slowing, Houstonthat now was the time to acknowledge that"the AI era of computing has finally arrived.
Although he didn't explicitly say AI would replace workers, the layoffs coincide with Dropbox's fresh focus on the technology. He told employees that AI has"captured the world's collective imagination" but has"also alerted our competitors to many of the same opportunities."Mark Zuckerberg has perhaps been the most explicit of all tech CEOs about the need to save every cent possible.
So it should be no surprise that Meta is bringing AI to its workforce in a big way. In March, Zuckerberg said his"single largest investment is in advancing AI" while building it into every one of its products. At the same time, he said 5,000 open roles not yet hired for would be closed.
