AI prompts big tech layoffs, firms building AI native teams
AI is changing the job scene fast: big tech companies are cutting thousands of roles as they shift to smaller, more tech-focused teams.
In India alone, Oracle reportedly laid off around 12,000 employees in India in April 2026, and TCS reduced its headcount by over 12,000 roles in FY26.
Companies like Cognizant and Freshworks are now building "AI Native" teams instead of hiring the old-school way.
Global entry-level job postings down 35%
This isn't just happening in India: a global report found entry-level job postings down 35% as AI takes over routine work.
Many worry about losing jobs to automation, and even top AI leaders like Mustafa Suleyman admit these changes are tough.
He's calling for "Humanist Superintelligence" so that AI helps people, while Demis Hassabis hopes it will cure diseases.
Still, with more than half of Americans fearing job loss from AI (according to a recent poll), it's clear this tech shift has everyone talking.
