Nearly 1 in 5 US workers in a survey said they’d been laid off or replaced by AI, then asked to return.
Separately, 32% of organizations that cut staff expecting AI savings reported rehiring.
Companies are discovering that automating tasks isn’t the same as replacing employees.
Of course, the flip side is that 68% of companies surveyed that made AI-related layoffs didn’t report rehiring workers.
So not all AI-driven layoffs are backfiring.
@carnage4life @pberry these numbers seem ridiculously high.
