Discover the stunning reversal happening in corporate America: companies are regretting staff cuts made in the name of Artificial Intelligence. This podcast dives into the new report from Forrester, which suggests many companies are facing an internal backlash over AI-related workforce reduction.

We explore the finding that 55% of employers surveyed now regret laying off staff based on the promise of AI. Management often made decisions based on the "future promise of AI," leading to spectacular failures in cases where the technology didn't actually replace human workers. We analyze why decision-makers responsible for AI investments now largely believe the technology will increase the workforce in the coming year, rather than reduce it.

Finally, we look at the risk facing departments like HR functions, which are expected to be dramatically downsized but still deliver the same level of service using AI tools. Tune in to understand the true impact of Generative AI on careers and the future of work.

Would you like to explore the specific prediction that much of the new work generated by AI will be placed on low-paid workers, either offshore or at lower wages, or perhaps look at the related content mentioned in the sources, such as the GenAI skills gap or AI scams?
