Abstract
Big companies like Alpha, Beta and Gamma laid off more than 100,000 workers between 2024 and 2025. At first glance, these layoffs appeared to be driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI). However, strategic shifts and investor pressures were often the main catalysts, not the immediate replacement of workers by machines. Many believe that as AI capabilities expand and adoption deepens, it will soon become a direct driver of workforce reductions. While AI is already becoming a key tool for efficiency and scalability, most current layoffs reflect budget constraints and changing business priorities rather than automation gains.
AI is rapidly changing workplaces and redefining traditional jobs. Workers still start their days early and manage dashboards, but AI programs are increasingly handling coding, data analysis, internal communications, and performance reviews. This ongoing transformation is altering how people and organizations compete. Experts now work alongside AI-powered teams capable of performing high-skill tasks with speed and precision. As companies prioritize speed and automation, important questions arise about what may be lost in the process.
The impact of AI integration has been uneven. In lower-skill areas such as customer service or clerical processing, automation has sometimes proved more costly than anticipated because of frequent updates, exception handling, and retraining (Chui et al., 2018). In high-value knowledge work, AI delivers strong results only when workflows, hierarchies, and decision-making structures are redesigned. Without these changes, companies are left stuck between ambition and operational capacity. Research shows that many layoffs attributed to AI are the result of short-term cost-cutting rather than a genuine commitment to digital transformation (Westerman, 2020). AI-enabled remote and hybrid work has brought flexibility but also ambiguity. When implemented thoughtfully, AI can complement rather than replace human work. Well-integrated AI can enhance imagination, improve collaboration, and increase productivity across sectors (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2017).
The webinar brings together global thought leaders in management strategy, organizational behavior, and innovation to explore fundamental questions such as: What aspects of work remain irreducibly human in an AI-first era? And how can companies use AI without losing the essence of meaningful work? Participants will gain strategies to remain valuable, agile, and human in an increasingly machine-mediated future.
