Major technology companies including Microsoft, Intel, and Google are undergoing AI-driven restructuring that is resulting in widespread layoffs and changes in workforce dynamics. Microsoft has cut approximately 15,000 jobs since May, including significant reductions in its legal department, as it reallocates resources toward AI infrastructure. Intel plans to lay off over 5,500 employees, while Amazon has reduced hundreds of roles in its AWS Cloud division despite a 17% revenue increase. Google is avoiding forced layoffs by offering a voluntary exit program. These shifts are accompanied by shrinking salaries, fewer entry-level positions, and growing uncertainty among workers. Research from The Adaptavist Group highlights that the benefits of AI in the workplace are unevenly distributed, favoring high-income workers and men, while others face greater challenges. The competition for AI talent is intensifying, with companies offering lucrative and secretive deals to secure skilled professionals amid this transition.
