'Simultaneous' layoffs, hiring coming amid widespread AI adoption

Half of business leaders in the technology industry are anticipating a mix of hiring and layoffs in the next six months due to increased adoption of artificial intelligence. The Technology Pulse Poll by Ernst & Young surveyed 255 tech industry leaders in the US, revealing a trend towards reshaping workforces to be more AI-savvy. Tech companies are focusing on roles like cybersecurity analysts, data scientists, and AI engineers in their hiring strategies.

The report also highlights a positive impact of AI on workplace culture, with 72% of respondents using AI daily and 85% acknowledging its benefits. However, concerns remain around AI-generated bias, user privacy protection, and safeguarding intellectual property. Employers are prioritizing upskilling employees to align with AI advancements, with internal development programs and technical certifications being implemented to support workforce readiness.
