- Crowdsstrike cuts 500 jobs citing efficiency and restructuring led by AI
- IBM uses AI to rationalize HR while increasing hires in technological roles
Many people fear that the rise of AI and robotics can cause job losses, because machines are becoming more and more able to perform tasks faster, cheaper and more precisely than humans, concerns have increased on the long -term impact on employment, wages and safety safety.
Even qualified professions, such as those of health care, finance, law and technology, may not be immune. The increasing AI capabilities suggest that no sector is entirely protected from disturbances.
These concerns are no longer hypothetical, they become reality for certain IT workers, after Crowstrike recently announced that it was suppressing 500 jobs, which is equivalent to around 5% of its workforce.
Realign the company
In a memo announcing the cuts, the CEO of the security company, George Kurtz, said: “Crowstrike is defined by our mission to stop violations, our disciplined execution and our commitment to protect customers”.
“Today, our customers are faced with an intensifying threat landscape and increasing complexity. They trust us to help them move faster and function more safely. To continue to gain this confidence, we are evolving how we operate.”
Explained that the company “realign” of the parts of the company “to continue to evolve with concentration and discipline” and explained that: “AI has always been fundamental on the way in which we operate. AI flattened our job curve, and helps us innovate from the idea to a product faster. It rationalizes the goal and the market.
Crowdsstrike is not the only technological company to cut jobs because of the AI.
THE Wall Street Journal reports that IBM has “used artificial intelligence, and in particular AI agents, to replace the work of a few hundred human resources”.
However, following these cuts, he was able to hire more programmers and sales and marketing.
“Although we have done a huge amount of work inside the IBM on the use of AI and automation on certain corporate workflows, our total job has really increased, because what it does is that it gives you more investment to put in other fields,” said the CEO of IBM, Arvind Krishna, publication.
Thus, although AI can take the work of certain people, this leads to an increase in opportunities in other areas.
Krishna also urged the Trump administration to increase federal IA R&D funding, revealing Techcrunch::
“We were an extremely strong defender – and it is both the company and I personally – on this R&D funded by the federal government should increase. This is the position, which is unequivocal, and we believe in it firmly. ”
