Apparently AI is pretty good at HR:
"IBM has reportedly laid off around 8,000 employees, with the majority of job losses concentrated in the Human Resources (HR) department. The move comes as part of a broader effort by the US-based tech giant to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its operations, particularly in back-office functions.
Earlier this month, IBM replaced approximately 200 HR roles with AI agents capable of handling repetitive administrative tasks such as responding to employee queries, processing paperwork, and organising HR data. These software-driven agents require minimal human supervision and are designed to boost efficiency while reducing costs."
