ME News, June 30 (UTC+8), as of May 2026, AI-related layoffs have approached 90k, and it is estimated that up to 15% of jobs in the US will be replaced by AI in the next five years.
However, a report by Ramp and Revelio Labs on nearly 22,000 companies found that companies with high AI investment (average monthly spending of $30 per person in the first three months) saw a 10.2% increase in total employees and a 12% increase in entry-level positions.
The report suggests that AI is not universally causing job loss, but rather becoming an expansion tool in resource-rich tech companies—reducing production costs in functions such as engineering, sales, and customer service, thereby driving overall headcount growth.
However, companies that only purchased subscriptions without continuous investment saw no headcount growth, which may widen the resource gap between enterprises. 🔗 Read the original: https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/29/the-ai-jobs-debate-just-got-messier (Source: AiHot)
