The Salesforce layoffs are the latest in a string of job cuts at some of the largest technology companies in the world, as they streamline operations amid rising adoption of AI tools. In January, Amazon.com Inc. said it was reducing 16,000 roles worldwide in the second major round of layoffs at the company in three months.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff had in a podcast in August last year said that the company had cut 4,000 customer support roles, because it needed “less heads”, while discussing the impact of AI.
