Is 'big tech' pushing AI to save themselves money?

I was reading this story and it same quite apparent that all the big job cuts seem to within tech, like 10,000s at a time. Then that got me thinking, is this really what they use AI for? It's like a guise to get rid is staff and something to blame. Are there any other types of business getting rid of 1000s of staff at a time like this? submitted by /u/poshbakerloo [link] [comments]
