IBM Fires 8,000 but AI Creates New Jobs 🤖

IBM’s bold move to automate HR jobs sparked fears of mass layoffs — but the reality surprised everyone. The company introduced AskHR, an AI assistant, to handle routine queries, allowing humans to focus on complex tasks requiring judgment, creativity, and empathy.

Instead of permanently losing jobs, IBM shifted employees into new roles like software development, marketing, and AI-related positions. CEO Arvind Krishna says only a few hundred HR roles were replaced, while the savings helped create roles humans are uniquely suited for.

IBM’s story highlights a bigger lesson: AI works best when it empowers people, not replaces them. Even as global adoption grows, humans remain essential for imagination, strategy, and personal connection.

With another round of layoffs affecting roughly 2,700 global employees, the focus is on reskilling and preparing the workforce for AI-driven industries. The future favors teams blending human intelligence with AI speed.
