As if worst was not over: Sam Altman and other tech leaders say new AI technology could lead to more layoffs

There are strong concerns about the effect of Ai on manpower in various tech-based services, and the likes of Sam Altman, Bill Gates and others, are now saying that the incorporation of AI tech could lead to layoffs in various sectors.

AI hype continues, but is it for good?

The AI stocks, especially of those companies deeply invested in the technology, are showing a phenomenal upsurge in the last two years, and the dominating bull run at Wall Street has largely helped it as a strong catalyst.

However, AI's impact in other aspects, especially in the field of manual labor, could be a complicated one as tech leaders believe that AI integration could lead to more layoffs than usual.


The introduction of AI agents could play a crucial part in all of it, especially due to the fact that they would be adept in complex problems, and would be even more more robust than humans in some cases, saving time and money for companies.

AI's demand to create layoff issues?

AI developers may see some field days in 2025, as their demand would become even more important, but wherever the technology will be implemented, it could typically mean that the workforce demand for certain roles will diminish, leading to layoffs, under the guise of cutting down additional expenses.
