AI Job Cuts Fail To Deliver Returns, New Report Warns Amid Layoffs Wave | Spotlight

Companies are cutting jobs to fund their AI ambitions, but new research suggests the strategy may be failing. A Gartner survey shows that while 80 percent of firms using autonomous AI tools have reduced their workforce, these layoffs are not improving returns on investment. As corporate giants like Meta and Standard Chartered announce more job cuts, experts warn that true value comes from upgrading human talent, not replacing it. With AI spending set to surge and new human-centred jobs emerging, the future may belong to companies that choose human amplification over human elimination. --- AI Job Cuts | AI Layoffs | Tech Layoffs | Tech Job Layoffs Crisis | Firstpost Spotlight | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #ai #ailayoffs #techlayoffs #techjobs2026 #techjoblayoffs #firstpostspotlight #spotlight #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
