Uber is laying off 23% of its People and Places team, or less than 1% of its global workforce. AI didn't factor into the layoffs, a spokesperson said.

Uber said the cuts were not driven by AI, which has allowed many tech businesses to cut costs and automate workloads

The cuts, led by new president Jill Hazelbaker, affect recruitment and HR staff but represent less than 1% of Uber's 34,000 employees
