GOOGLE CUTTING JOBS

ai IS @ IT AGAIN & NOW EVEN GOOGLE IS CUTTING JOBS ... The reductions have taken place over the past two weeks and represent another chapter in the ongoing wave of workforce cuts sweeping through the technology sector, according to a Business Insider report. Companies are increasingly reallocating spending toward AI initiatives, leading to restructuring efforts across multiple business units. Tech giants' latest move mirrors broader trend in the industry. Meta reduced its workforce by 10 per cent last month, while Coinbase and Block have previously pointed to AI-focused spending as part of the rationale behind their own job-cutting measures. The cybersecurity industry has also felt the impact. In May, Cloudflare eliminated more than 1,100 roles as it positioned itself for what company executives described as the “agentic AI era.” The developments highlight how AI is increasingly influencing corporate priorities, with companies seeking to redirect capital and talent toward emerging technologies that they believe will drive future growth. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/tech-layoffs-google-is-cutting-jobs-again-here-s-which-teams-were-affected-this-time/ar-AA24ThgC?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=6a228fc5d6d64fd5afd7c292b0a8824b&ei=14
