AI Costs Surge: Companies Rethink Job Cuts?

Artificial intelligence has been literally shaking up the international job sector with several thousands of jobs being lost each week due to AI alignment by companies.

Last week, there was a sensational survey report by Goldman Sachs which projected that as many as 26,000 jobs are being lost each month in the United States due to AI advancement.

Subsequently, there was a widespread panic amongst many common folk that the AI mechanism could be the end of human workforce. It was suspected that there might not be any entry-level or software jobs in the future if the AI advancement continues.

However, the latest establishments are suggesting that the AI might not trigger human job collapse as suspected earlier. Many companies are tracking back on AI alignment due to the extreme cost associated with the same.

Open AI CEO Sam Altman no longer believes AI will cause the “jobs apocalypse” he predicted it would, saying that human communication is still essential in some cases.

Along with that, several leading companies, including Microsoft and Uber, which had big plans for AI are not tracking back on the same due to the excessive costs. They have burned through their AI budget for the entire year by June itself, and this is an indication of what is to come.

Many companies cannot sustain the cost associated with AI and will have to prefer the human workforce, which is conventional and efficient as well. This is a positive sign for the human workforce globally.
