Artificial intelligence technology has actually begun to devour human jobs, and has begun to replace many employees, which confirms that many jobs will soon disappear and will be performed by robots, which will force the owners of these jobs to find alternatives for them.

And the American technology giant (IBM) announced that it intends to replace nearly eight thousand jobs with artificial intelligence, which is the first and largest move of its kind since this technology topped the controversy in the world and ignited fears of using it instead of ordinary people.

And American media quoted, in reports seen by “Al Arabiya Net”, the CEO of “IBM”, Arvind Krishna, as saying that the company has stopped hiring now, but that is not all, but also plans to replace nearly 8 thousand jobs with artificial intelligence. .

Krishna indicated that back-office jobs, specifically in the HR sector, would be the first to face these changes.

IBM says the transition will happen gradually over the next few years, with machines potentially taking up to 30% of roles that customers don’t encounter in the next five years. This means that those in finance, accounting, human resources, and other sectors will likely find themselves facing stiff competition from bots and algorithms.

The decision highlights the increasing reliance on automation and artificial intelligence in various sectors and the potential impact on the workforce.

This is not the first time the company has made headlines due to job cuts. Earlier this year, IBM announced that it would cut 3,900 jobs, indicating a larger trend towards automation and cost-cutting measures in the technology industry.

And while IBM is not the only technology giant that has been downsized recently, as many workers have also been laid off from giant companies such as Meta, Twitter, Amazon and Microsoft, it is clear that artificial intelligence Rapidly changing workforce.

Krishna remains optimistic about the prospects of artificial intelligence in the workplace, noting the technology’s potential to free up thousands of hours of labor-intensive tasks in areas such as finance, accounting, and human resources. Artificial intelligence is expected to add $16 trillion to the global economy by 2030.

A new report by Goldman Sachs economists reveals that up to 300 million full-time jobs worldwide could be affected by the latest wave of AI technology.

The report indicates that 18% of all businesses around the world are likely to be replaced by machines, with more developed economies being hit the hardest.

This news signals a major shift in the way businesses operate in the digital age. And this is probably only the beginning, as artificial intelligence is quietly becoming a part of our daily lives. Startups like AvaWatz are using advanced technology to build teams of autonomous, AI-powered robots, and use these to run farms, clean airports, and a host of other operations.
