11,000 new AI jobs (?)
Telecoms giant BT is to shed up to 55,000 jobs by the end of the decade, mostly in the UK, as it cuts costs.
Up to a fifth of those cuts will come in customer services as staff are replaced by technologies including artificial intelligence.
The headcount reduction from the current workforce of 130,000 includes staff and contractors... More here.
The 55,000 job losses I can believe because I worked for BT for more than 2 decades until January, but the 11,000 AI jobs? Nope, I don't see that for many different reasons.
