Some of the cuts are part of previously announced reductions.The moves come as artificial intelligence, public policy, and broader economic conditions are driving sweeping changes in the business landscape.A World Economic Forum survey last year found that some 41% of companies worldwide expected to reduce their workforces in the next five years because of the rise of artificial intelligence. The survey also found that jobs in big data, fintech, and AI are expected to double by 2030.Last year, Business Insider tracked layoffs at around 65 major companies, including Amazon, Meta, Paramount, and Starbucks.
