Goodbye to 8,000 jobs – IBM replaces workers with artificial intelligence, sparking a wave of global reactions


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay, that much we know, but in recent weeks a very frustrating news item has been making the rounds: the catastrophic future in which machines replace humans has arrived. IBM, one of the most important technology companies in the world, has eliminated approximately 8,000 jobs within the Human Resources (HR) Department. Why? You can probably guess: AI has taken over everything.

The “repetitive” jobs, reading vacation requests, managing payroll or internal company documentation will now be handled by AI systems, like the AskHR platform. Are we facing the future or a step backward?

IBM’s AI transforms Human Resources
And as we were saying, the AskHR platform is currently managing 94% of the routine tasks that would normally be done by humans in the HR department, everything involving paperwork, documentation… that’s history, now AI takes care of it.
