Everything through artificial intelligence: US tech companies have cut nearly 100,000 employees.

According to data published on the corporate blog of the staffing company Final Round AI, by mid-2025, American tech giants will have lost nearly 94,000 employees. This indicates that the largest companies are actively redirecting their workforce resources towards artificial intelligence.

Some positions are disappearing as their duties are now performed by artificial intelligence, while others are being reduced to fund AI development and research projects. Every month, companies announce personnel cuts related to artificial intelligence, including Microsoft, Meta, Workday, Salesforce, and others.

• software developers are most frequently affected by layoffs;
• there is a high risk of layoffs for HR specialists;
• humans are becoming less in demand for customer support;
• people are increasingly less involved in content creation;
• artificial intelligence is displacing data analysis specialists;
• companies are also parting ways with mid-level managers.

New requirements for tech sector specialists

Such a trend is observed not only in one company but throughout the sector. Artificial intelligence is replacing people in positions that perform repetitive tasks. Tech sector specialists need to learn how to effectively interact with new technologies to preserve their jobs and competitiveness in the labor market.
