UK telecoms giant BT has plans to cut 55,000 jobs. 10,000 of those will be replaced by AI – ‘by the year 2020’
IBM’s announcement that it would replace 7,800 positions with AI comes just a few days after this one.
IBM’s CEO announced earlier this month that IBM could easily replace 7,800 humans with artificial intelligence over the next five-year period. Another startling revelation in the debate ‘Will AI Replace Humans’ has now come to light.
BT, a British multinational telecommunications company, announced plans to cut up to 55,000 positions by the end decade, mainly in the United Kingdom. The Guardian reported that the company announced it would replace approximately 10,000 employees with AI.
