IBM Stops Hiring for 7,800 Positions , That Could Be Replaced by AI.

Insider reports that IBM CEO Arvind Krishna revealed the company's intentions to 'Bloomberg.'

.

I could easily see 30% of that getting replaced by AI and automation over a five-year period, Arvind Krishna, IBM CEO, to 'Bloomberg'.

The cuts would mostly affect "non-customer facing roles," Insider reports.

According to an IBM spokesperson, people who are currently in such roles won't be let go, but positions that are voluntarily vacated won't be filled.

A spokesperson for IBM issued a statement.

There is no blanket hiring 'pause' in place.

IBM is being deliberate and thoughtful in our hiring with a focus on revenue-generating roles, and we're being very selective when filling jobs that don't directly touch our clients or technology.

We are actively hiring for thousands of positions right now, IBM spokesperson, to Insider.

Meanwhile, IBM announced earlier this year that it would be laying off 1.5% of its employees.

As AI capabilities, such as those of ChatGPT, have rapidly improved, labor market jobs will likely become increasingly impacted.

.

According to Insider, "tech, media and legal industries" are some of the sectors to presumably be most affected.

Trump Poses As Jedi In AI Star Wars Post—But Red Lightsaber Sparks Instant Backlash Online | WATCH

The White House sparked online backlash on May 4th—Star Wars Day after posting an AI-generated image of Donald Trump as a Jedi. But instead of being seen as a heroic figure, Trump’s depiction with a red lightsabre a color reserved for villains in the Star Wars universe led fans and critics to call him a Sith. The symbolic gaffe followed another viral AI image showing Trump as the Pope just days after Pope Francis's death, prompting further outrage. The missteps have reignited debates on AI, politics, and pop culture symbolism in presidential messaging. #TrumpJediFail #StarWarsDay #MayThe4th #RedSabre #SithLordTrump #WhiteHouseAI #TrumpAI #PopeTrump #JediOrSith #AIBacklash #TrumpMemes #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsMeme #USPolitics #TrumpMockery #AIArtFail #PresidentialPR #SocialMediaBuzz #WhiteHouseControversy #PopCulturePolitics Also Read Trump to Slap 100% Tariff on All Films Made Outside the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-slap-100-tariff-on-all-films-made-outside-the-us-4143503.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Says He Will Reopen Alcatraz Prison :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-he-will-reopen-alcatraz-prison-4143493.html?ref=DMDesc Why Donald Trump's Trade Tariffs Are Threat To Global Food Security :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-donald-trumps-trade-tariffs-are-threat-to-global-food-security-4142083.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~
