Automation Debate Heats Up
IBM's AI Layoffs Backfire: The Human Element Strikes Back
Last updated:
In a surprising twist, IBM is rehiring after AI-driven layoffs in its HR department backfired, sparking a heated debate over automation limits. In 2023, IBM laid off around 8,000 employees, relying on its AI platform AskHR to automate tasks. While AskHR impressively handled 94% of HR tasks, the remaining 6% that required human judgment proved troublesome, leading to gaps in operations. IBM's experience highlights the irreplaceable value of human insight, even in an age of advanced technology.
