AI Claims 4K Jobs

And that's in May alone. [CMSWire]() Editor's Note [Today's top article underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workforce, particularly as it pertains to job losses in the United States. In May, 3,900 positions were eliminated because of AI. Despite this concerning trend, it's worth noting that AI-related job cuts were seventh on the list of reasons for job terminations, trailing behind factors such as closings, market/economic conditions and restructuring among others. This comes at a time when the US is experiencing a significant rise in job cuts overall, with 80,089 layoffs announced in May alone, a 20% increase from the previous month. The question of job security is increasingly pertinent for many professionals, including those in marketing and customer experience roles. We are reminded once again of the transformational power of AI and its potential to disrupt various sectors and professions. However, it's equally crucial to remember that these are early days, and the full extent of AI's impact on the workforce is yet to be fully understood.]( article]( — Dom Nicastro, CMSWire Managing Editor Got any thoughts on this topic?
