The IT industry is experiencing more layoffs, with recent news highlighting significant job cuts. Microsoft recently announced layoffs affecting around 6,700 employees. Now, IBM has joined the trend by letting go of approximately 8,000 workers, mainly from its Human Resources (HR) department.
This announcement comes shortly after IBM introduced AI technology to take over some tasks previously performed by human HR staff, replacing about 200 roles. As companies increasingly rely on AI to handle various jobs, many positions are being eliminated.
