50,000+ tech workers laid off just 6 months into 2025. Microsoft, Google, Meta, IBM & others are cutting roles - but itโs not just because of AI.
AI is shifting priorities, not fully replacing people (yet). Microsoft now writes 30% of its code with AI, but layoffs are more about funding its $80B AI push.
IBM is automating HR but hiring more engineers. Most roles wonโt vanish โ theyโll evolve.
