With companies leaning increasingly on the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), the state of traditional manpower has been left hanging in the balance. Layoffs have already occurred, and for labourers who were lucky enough to stay on, their career outlook appears uncertain rather than promising.
Hence, it is hardly surprising that some employees are sceptical about assurances of AI being merely used as a tool to help improve individual performance and overall productivity. Instead, a number of employees view AI adoption differently, believing it is a tactic by companies to lay off more workers in order to reduce overhead costs by 2026.
